2018 Enfleurage Workshop Schedule
*Newly added...3 Day Advanced Extraction Workshop, June 18, 19, 20, 2018- Enfleurage 200
3 Day Advanced Extraction Workshop, this course is for extractors and alchemists. With some mindful adjustment, the Enfleurage Extraction lessons learned with Lilac may be applied to other flowers.
We will be working non-stop for 3 days to perfect the lilac extrait. This course allows students to have extensive hands on experience with the highly specialized equipment. Extraction techniques from pomade to extrait will be studied and performed in depth and at length to optimize production of the finest lilac essential oil. We will be working through the processes of extraction including making the eau de parfum, eau de toilette, the essential oil and the illusive, very rare and precious 'Anhydrous Lilac". Be prepared for some exquisite smells and intense nerdy fun. Bring your best nose.
$1200 per registrant, includes 3 full days on the farm and in the Enfleurage Studio, farm raised lunch, and samples of oil we produce to take home, plus my illustrated book, The Book of Enfleurage. I am also available to students for lifelong consultation and troubleshooting. Just call me or email your questions. We shall remain colleagues throughout this scented journey.
Enfleurage 100 or other suitable experience, is a prerequisite for Enfleurage 200.
