ceramic jar vessel making.

just like our skin is our body´s protective coat — between within and without, so will the vessel be for the skin balm.
you will be guided by barbora to hand-shape a jar from stoneware using the slab technique, with a fitted lid for closure.
your vessels will be glazed for you after the workshop.
through the chosen glazing technique, the colour shades will change between greens and browns — a transformation between beautiful earth tones.
your jar will be fired for you in the kiln — prepared to hold the herbal skin balm afterward.
tea will be brewed for you by sarah, from herbs which connect with our inner body through the element Earth — the element of Late Summer.

herbal face balm making
`the skin, our (protective) outline`
preparing our skin for the transition to Autumn — the season of Dryness, belonging to the organ Lungs.
from herbs that are naturally infusing in the warmth of the sun within carefully pressed oil.
then, melted together with wax from the bee´s hive, and a little honey
— a combination of herbs I chose for protecting, healing, bringing softness and moisture to the skin.
herbs, I pick, blend, dry throughout summer, far down south on a croatian island
or in danish fields and meadows.
together, we will pour the balm within its vessel.
