Homemade Tallow Balm

Friday 9th October, 5:30 - 7:30pm
11 Hopper St, entrance on the right side of the building & upstairs

Mo (@moagen) will be joining us for tallow balm making! Together we’ll be making two balms with tallow harvested and rendered by Mo, from sheep at a local farm in Halcombe. One balm will be calendula and kawakawa balm, used to nourish our own skin, and the other will be “dubbin”, a balm used to moisturise leather and keep it supple. Everyone will take home about 40g of each balm! Please BYO jars/tin.
