IA Journeyman Oct. 2022

 Welcome to IA Journeyman, where we will journey through history in a very hands-on approach.  I hope you're ready to get your hands a little messy and have some fun with some of our "lost arts."

This week in class we will do 2 things:

1. Candle making! We'll be dipping candles this week.  While this shouldn't get too messy, it could.  Maybe wear something that's not too fancy, so if you get a little wax on it, you won't be completely upset.

2. Gathering some herbs around the farm to get them soaking in oil. These will make a nice healing balm later in the year.

Study/Learn

1. Watch these videos about candle making:

Medieval Professions: Chandler 4 min

How to Dip Candles 3.5 min

Does Fire Burn in Space? 3 min

Know/Understand

1. Look up herbs that are good for healing skin wounds.  Write down 3 herbs that you think would be good to add to our healing cream.  Bring the list to class.

2.  Look up a scripture or quote about candles, or light.  Write the scripture/quote you choose on greeting card, 3 X 5 Card, or type it up and print it out.  Make it nice.  You can add a picture if you want.  You're going to give it to someone you're inspired to give it to.

We will be making 3 candles in class.  2 will be dipped, 1 will be poured.  You will get to choose one of those candles to give as a gift along with your card.

The list of 3 herbs, and the card with a light scripture/quote will be your tickets into class. 

See you there!
