Handmade at Home: Kitchen Gifts That Matter
A Free 2-Part Herbal Workshop: Handmade Gifts from the Heart Sign up today and receive the full recipe list and supplies guide so you can gather what you need and follow along in real time with Jess when the workshop is released.
Join Jess for a free, two-part herbal workshop designed to help you turn simple kitchen ingredients into beautiful, nourishing, handmade gifts.
Not rushed. Not complicated. Just jars, herbs, warmth, and care.
These are prerecorded classes, released on the dates above, so you can follow along at your own pace, pause anytime, and return whenever you need. You’ll receive lifetime access to both days. Over two cozy days together, you’ll learn how to infuse oils, blend spices, sweeten maple syrup with herbs, and transform those infusions into lip balms, salves, and thoughtful kitchen gifts. These are the kinds of gifts people actually use — and feel.
On Day One, we’ll gather in the kitchen to blend dried herbs with oils and gently infuse them overnight in the slow cooker. We’ll create herbal oils, spice blends, chai, hot cocoa mix, and a rich herbal maple syrup — all designed to rest and deepen while we sleep.
On Day Two, we’ll return to strain, bottle, and finish what we started. Together, we’ll pour lip balms, make soothing salves, label our jars, and talk about how to gift what we’ve made with intention and ease.
This workshop isn’t about perfection or productivity. It’s about remembering that handmade still matters. Whether you’re gifting to family, friends, teachers, or neighbors — or simply making these remedies for your own home — you’ll leave with practical skills, confidence in your hands, and a counter full of beautiful creations. Come as you are. Use what you have.
Make something meaningful. Free to join. All are welcome.
Pull up a chair and join Jess in the kitchen.
Day 1 focuses on infusing, blending, and beginning. Together we’ll make chamomile infused oil, vanilla infused oil, rosemary and garlic infused olive oil for the kitchen, comfrey infused olive oil for external use, and lavender infused coconut oil. We’ll also prepare an herbal-infused maple syrup to steep overnight, along with several dry blends including an herbal popcorn seasoning, pumpkin spice blend, herbal turkey rub, adaptogenic hot cocoa mix, and a warming chai tea blend.
Day 2 is all about finishing and gifting. We’ll strain and bottle the infused oils and maple syrup, then turn our infusions into finished remedies by making hot cocoa lip balm, vanilla lip balm, a nourishing comfrey salve, and a gentle baby butt balm.
