REBECCA BURKE     Botanicals for Your Happy Home  - $24

This class will incorporate two crafts. First, you will make a witch ball. Witch balls, aka blessing balls, are like good luck charms for your home. Our witch balls are filled with a variety of dried herbs, spices, and crystals, which symbolically protect and enhance your home, to keep you and your family happy and healthy. Witch balls have been historically used to protect homes since the 1600s. We will talk about the symbolic meanings of the different ingredients, and you’ll be able to choose the ones that you’d like to add to your witch ball. The second craft we will complete is assembling simmer pot blends for you to use to scent your home. Simmer pots are blends of dried or fresh fruits, herbs, and spices that are added to simmering water on the stove. The scent that is released will leave your home delightfully scented. You will take home two simmer pot blends made with dried ingredients, so you can use them whenever you like!
