Step back into a simpler time when DIY was an integral part of living by taking one or both of our sustainable workshops on Sunday, April 21st in conjunction with the 12 Days of Earth Day. The first workshop is from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. led by our very own Museum Coordinator, Zoe Swain, as she teaches a class on fermenting vegetables. Learn the step-by-step process on how to ferment different vegetables such as cabbage and onions. The cost of this workshop is $20, which includes fermenting materials. You will need to bring your own jars for fermenting.
The second workshop is from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. led by instructor Betty Gearen. Immerse yourself in the wonderful world of natural cleaning. You will be able to create a batch of handmade coconut oil soap and then create your own laundry detergent using pure essential oils. Take home laundry soap and do away with harsh chemicals and plastic jugs! The cost of this workshop is $20, which includes soap-making materials. You will need to bring your own containers to put the soap in.
Tickets for each workshop are $20 each and can be purchased at the museum, over the phone at 503-436-9301 or through our online gift shop at https://cbhistory.org/product-category/workshops/
Funds raised from this workshop will go towards the museum’s general operations.
Space for each workshop is limited, and it is expected to sell out, so get your tickets today!
Both workshops are in partnership with the 12 Days of Earth Day, a celebration of activities in Cannon Beach that honor our Earth. The theme for this year’s Earth Day is Planet vs. Plastics. Everyone can do something to help solve the plastic pollution problem, and millions of people worldwide are already taking action to reduce their plastic use.
Both workshops will take place at the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum, located at 1387 South Spruce Street in Cannon Beach, Oregon (across from the Cannon Beach Fire Station). Parking is extremely limited, and it is encouraged to arrive early to find a parking space. For more information, visit our website at cbhistory.org or find us on Facebook.
