2 events,(ADVANCED REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PROGRAM! Calling all craft lovers! Come to Adult Craft Hour, a fun and relaxing opportunity for adults to get creative. Each session will feature a different themed craft, with all supplies provided by the library. Whether you're an experienced crafter or a beginner looking to learn, this hour is for you! How It Works: Who Can Join? This Month: Autumn Soaps 🍮 Pumpkin Souffle - Unlike other pumpkin scents that are mostly spice notes, this one is a mix of walnut, pecan, espresso, freshly-cooked pumpkin, caramel, ginger, cinnamon, and allspice. 🟢 Spiced Pistachio - Spiced Pistachio blends gourmand warmth with woody sophistication. Sparkling mandarin and cardamom open this inviting scent, followed by creamy pistachio, eggnog spices, and a hint of gin's botanicals. Sandalwood, amber, and vanilla create a rich, cashmere-like base. 🥃 Apple Bourbon - This fragrance is inspired by sipping a cocktail on a crisp fall day. It's a warm mix of green apple, lime, bourbon, sparkling ginger, amber, caramel, and vanilla. 🍊 Orange & Clove - This fragrance opens with a bright, citrus-forward burst of Seville orange, lemon zest, and bergamot before moving into a cool, slightly green middle of eucalyptus, fir needles, and lily. Amberwood, orange wood, and tonka bring a warm, spiced finish that grounds the whole fragrance. It smells like citrus simmering on the stove with warm spices on a cold afternoon. All supplies will be provided, making this a fun, low‑pressure way to try something new - and you’ll get to take home some beautifully scented soap! Program Cost: $5 |
