You harvested the deer and the steak's ready for dinner. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Why not make some lotions, potions and light? Balms and candles are an easy way to utilize tallow. We will learn easy, low waste ways to use deer fat by making a soothing balm and a hand poured candle. This virtual workshop covers safe rendering and straining techniques, simple balm formulation/making, and candle making methods that you can repeat at home. Participants will discuss how to work with frozen deer fat. Storage, labeling, and basic shelf-life considerations for tallow products will be addressed. Everyone will be prepared to make their own heel balm and candle at home. We will also include directions for body butter and fire starters. This virtual workshop is ideal for hunters, homesteaders, and anyone interested in traditional and low waste living. Come ready to learn practical skills that honor the whole animal. *You will receive a virtual invite before the program.
