Beeswax Kitchen Wraps ~ An Alternative to Plastic Wrap

In this fun and practical workshop, you'll make up to 6 natural, reusable cotton and beeswax wraps as an alternative to plastic wrap, in 3 different sizes. From storing food in the kitchen, to packing sandwiches and snacks on the go, using these wraps is a small sustainable swap that adds up to make a big impact.  You'll make them by infusing organic cotton with a blend of beeswax, plant oil and tree resin, you'll create a durable yet pliable beeswax food wrap that can be used again and again – helping you to be like the bees; doing your part for the greater good of the planet.

Have your GPS take you to 101 West Rodney French Blvd. in New Bedford.  Once there, please park on the end of the building AWAY from the main entrance.  You'll see an ORANGE door that says Mattress Handup...enter there and go up the stairs.  At the top of the stairs...follow small yellow signs for NBACE.  We're right around the corner behind the mural  !!
