Distillation Workshop @ Chintin Botanicals
Have you ever wondered how essential oils and hydrosols are made?
This workshop is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on experience where you’ll learn the art of distillation! Option to bring your own botanicals, or let the experts guide you to pick some fresh ones right from Chintin farm. Each participant will have their own still to load with botanicals and watch the magic unfold as you distill the botanicals and then guided to create your very own product using the oils and hydrosols.
The afternoon also includes a delightful afternoon tea, inspired by the very botanicals grown at Chintin Botanicals. It’s a perfect way to unwind and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Limited spaces available! Book your ticket here - https://events.humanitix.com/distillation-workshop
