Take-home workshops contain the following:
> workshop instructions and recipe guide
> silk road supplies necessary to make the products listed in the workshop guide
When you purchase a take-home workshop kit, all of the supplies in the kit are discounted by 10%. Workshop kits are sold pre-assembled and there are no substitutions of kit components. If you already have most of the essential oils or teas used in a certain workshop, you may choose to purchase just the workshop guide (without the supplies). If you purchase the guide only, you will not receive a discount on the guide or on supplies used in that workshop; thus, the workshop kit is a great value!
The essential oils included in the aromatherapy workshop kits supply more than enough product to make the recipes listed in the recipe guide. In most cases, you can purchase additional bottles, carrier oil and/or unscented bathsalts and make several more blends using the essential oils in the kits.
In order to purchase a take-home workshop, email our mail order department or call us at 250 386 6815, Monday through Friday, 10am-6pm PST. Once we have processed your order by credit card, we will mail you a workshop kit. Interested in just the workshop guide? Contact us, and once we have processed your order, we will email you a PDF of the workshop instructions and recipe guide.
*Mixing bowls, stir sticks and spoons are not supplied. Some workshops, such as the Eau de Parfum workshop, will require the purchase of additional ingredients not supplied by silk road (e.g. distilled water and overproof vodka). See below for a complete list of kit ingredients. Kit prices do not include shipping. Click here for more details on shipping.
