✨ The Butter, Balm, and Flame Apothecary
A stillroom workshop for those who love scent, softness, and seasonal care.
Step into a quiet room of warmth, fragrance, and sensory delight — and learn to create natural body and home-care treasures inspired by the handmade traditions of historical stillrooms.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll craft a trio of nourishing, seasonal creations using botanical ingredients, essential oils, and time-honoured methods once found in kitchens, convents, and apothecaries.
🌿 What You’ll Craft & Take Home:
🧈 Whipped Body Butter – Luxurious, skin-loving, and softly scented
💄 Tinted Lip Balm – A hint of colour, full of nourishment
🕯️ Scented Candle – Poured with wax and essential oils, inspired by herbal blends of old
You’ll take home one of each — plus recipes to recreate them at your leisure.
🌸 What’s Included:
- All materials, tools, and step-by-step guidance
- Herbal teas and seasonal drinks (spiced apple, mulled dried fruits, etc.)
- Snacks inspired by stillroom pantries
- A quiet, welcoming space to relax and craft
📍 Location: Bookham, Surrey (near Leatherhead).
On-site parking available.
