Cost of class - $72; Registration fee, due when you sign up $22; class and materials fee, due directly to the instructor at the beginning of class $50. Taught by Machelle Christiansen This half day class will explore a handful of herbal teas for the needs of the coming season and how to prepare them for the best results. Bring your curiosity, and see how this simple way of using herbs can help support you through the seasons of the year. Meet your instructor Machelle has been interested in herbs ever since she can remember when she learned that it actually meant something that Mrs. Bunny gave Peter Rabbit chamomile tea and sent him to bed! As she grew past the age of making teas in her Barbie swimming pool with whatever she found growing nearby, she began to study herbs and alternative healing modalities in earnest. This has led her on a nearly life-long journey of learning folkways, studying with a wide variety of teachers, and personal exploration. Nowadays you can find her with a mug in hand helping out as an apprentice in the Village Apothecary and at home in her apothecary that also doubles as a studio for her fiber crafts.
