~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Starting Friday March 21, 2025, we will begin our Spring Herbal Crafter Apprenticeship. Availability is offered on a first come basis and space is limited.
The course will run from March 21 to June 20, meeting Fridays (with a break on April 18). There will be other optional opportunities to join in weed walks with local school groups and discounted rates for any focused workshops we run throughout the apprenticeship for the general public.
Our Herbal Crafter Apprenticeship focuses on the how’s and why’s of our Functional Skincare Line along with some of our Apothecary products and Herbal Infusions and Herbal Medicinals. Many people go on from this apprenticeship to found their own skincare lines, become herbal or aesthetic practitioners, or add to their offerings in adjacent fields. Depending on the composition of the group, we may focus on particular aspects of our practice and production. We share any resource you may benefit from in order to support your growth. Our mission is to disseminate this wealth of knowledge to a greater audience so more people can benefit from traditional wisdom. These secrets are not to be held, but to be shared.
Please note: Our apprenticeship is not a course in herbalism. There are many wonderful courses in traditional herbalism, but ours is focused on the essentials and secrets of crafting herbal skincare and medicinal products.
Location: This course is 100% IN-PERSON at our Windsor Terrace Workshop (1301 Prospect Ave, Brooklyn NY) .
Meets Fridays (9:30am until 1:30pm) for instruction and Herbalcrafting: we’ll gather at our Windsor Terrace workshop for guided meditation and discussion about Brooklyn Herborium philosophy and methodology. We’ll share in functional wisdom. We’ll learn about holistic skincare, and we’ll craft skincare products together, too, working with beautiful raw materials.
Products: You will get to take home each of the products we make together, (along with samples of all the trial formulation work that we do here - we love your input!), which will allow you to really get to know how to care for your skin and health with herbal goods.
Attendance Note: Attendance is important. Please commit to attend every session, barring illness or an emergency, as it is a wonderful benefit to you. We do not have the capacity to run a full makeup sessions for missed days, but we will provide sheets for your Apprentice Binder as well as samples of herbals goods that were crafted.
