Demystifying the Art of Distilling Hydrosols

Explore the alchemical process of distillation! The art and science of distilling is a process that relies on the four elements of earth, air, water, and fire; and embodies the very meaning of aromatic alchemy.

Join us as we pack the Alembic copper still! While she’s running we will discuss the foundations of distilling and dive into hydrosols and their many uses. Resources will be shared and there will be the opportunity to purchase a copper still. We will take a plant walk around the magical Oak woodland and discuss identification, sourcing, ethical harvesting, processing and community engagement. Come meander with the aromatic molecules and explore a whole new experience of plant extraction. Go home in a state of bliss and with a sample of the distilled hydrolate.

In this hands-on class you will learn:

*The anatomy and physiology of the copper stil

*Everything needed to run a still

*Safety tips and tricks

*How to prepare the equipment and process the plants to be distilled

*Distilling for hydrosols and the fraction process
