September 22, Goat Milk Lotion-Making
Nancy Sheffert, owner of Goat Milk Etc, will teach you how to make your own lotion made from all natural oils and fresh goat milk for a “Monday at the Museum” workshop on Monday, September 22, at the Sedona Heritage Museum from 11:00-1:00pm. Nancy began her journey in the Goat Milk business back in 2005 with her first goat, Cocoa. Before she knew it, she was soon in the breeding business and discovered that goat milk is not just a delicious beverage, but also a great ingredient for blending with natural oils to make soap and all kinds of organic creams and lotions. Sheffert loves to share her years of experience and knowledge in making great natural products. Each participant leaves with the lotion they make. This class does require an RSVP and costs $12/person.
