Class fee: $50 BAGA members, $55 non-members
Supplies included.
Learn applications about essential oils to sensibly use less and enjoy them more. If you have oils sitting in a drawer or a box and have no idea how to use them or think they are too expensive you will learn the best ways to use them that is good for the environment and your pocket book.
You will finish a lotion and a roll-on in this 2-hour class to use for yourself or give away. There will be plenty of oils to choose from to use for this project. There will be unopened bottles to purchase for the class or later use. You will also leave with recipes for yourself.
We will discuss the therapeutic uses of the oils, difference brands, what carrier oils are, and how they are labeled.
Beginner Woodcarving with Cliff Orgaard
Tuesday and Thursday, February 24 and 26, 1:00pm-4:00pm
Class fee: $80 BAGA members, $85 non-members
Supplies included.
This is a beginner’s course in carving. The class is best suited for those 15 years old and up, due to the sharp nature of the tools we will be using during the class. Instruction will begin with proper safety procedures, tool overview, common terms, and an introduction to different types of carving woods. We’ll start off with the “practice stick” which helps teach the three basic cuts, then move to more creative projects once the basics are covered.
