In this workshop you will learn how to produce a range of professional quality beauty/spa products tailored to the season using variety of botanical material inspired by the Woodlands & Gardens at Harewood.

We will focus eco- conscious sourcing, production & packaging methods practical products tailored to you as an individual taking into account age, hair & skin type. We will also explore the use of scent to create mood & how they have been traditionally incorporated into products & what purpose they serve.
