People in Alabama have used plants for many purposes, including soap recipes. This workshop teaches historic & homemade soap making and the evolution of that process. Over time, soap has been used medicinally with specific herbal combinations to bring a more centered and healthy state. Today soaps are used for cleansing the body & enjoying the infusion of native plants through the senses. Participants will get a small bar of soap to take home. This workshop will be led by Summer McCreless, owner of Mothering Herbs and a second-generation herbalist. McCreless has been practicing herbalism for over 17 years, teaching herbal education & plant identification and uses in North Alabama. She has over 30 years of experience and education in plant identification in the United States.
