Herbal Crafter Apprenticeship: We are always looking for kind, inquiring minds with able hands and eager smiles to come and apprentice for us. This apprenticeship teaches the art of herbal crafting through practice and hands-on making of our herbal goods. It includes packaging the goods, cleaning up after the job, and learning to make tea for oneself and one’s companions to lift our collective spirits. Please inquire if you are interested and we will invite you for a Trial Work Day at the start of next 3 months. Considering the pandemic continuing into 2021, we can not say for certain when we will resume our in-person apprenticeships. Please reach out to us to be placed on a contact list if you wish to be informed.
What is our Herbal Crafter Apprenticeship?
We are a group of naturally oriented humans who craft herbal skincare products together at our workshop on 1301 Prospect Avenue in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn. Apprenticing gives you an opportunity to work with beautiful raw materials and herbs (including butters, oils, clays, hydrosols, etc) and help out with our product production. You will learn the properties of all the materials you are crafting as well as have the opportunity to ask questions of the experienced crew about remedies etc.
This work can be challenging and physically demanding, so we ask that applicants are in good health and able to contribute to the physical labor. Grating beeswax or pouring an oil infusion can be tiring! This is a three month commitment which has very limited space. We ask that participants take this opportunity quite seriously. Please arrive before our official start time and plan on staying until all cleanup is attended to. For your own education as well as the group’s integrity, attendance is required for each session, barring illness or an emergency. Apprentices who miss more than 1 session may lose their position to someone who can make the commitment. In addition, key educational elements presented in each session build upon each other and are needed to understand subsequent lessons.

What we’ll doing: We will be ‘Herbal Crafting’ together. This means we’ll gather at our Windsor Terrace workshop for guided meditation and discussion about Brooklyn Herborium philosophy and methodology. We’ll share in functional wisdom. We’ll learn about holistic skincare, and we’ll craft skincare products together, too, working with beautiful raw materials. You will also get to take home one of each of the products we make together
Attendance Note: Attendance is important. Please commit to attend every session, barring illness or an emergency, as it is a wonderful benefit to you.
Program Fee: $895.00. This covers our instructor’s time and materials & products for you to take home and enjoy.
