Henna Temporary Body Art Workshop

With Anzietta Di Pierro Tuesday, Feb. 1 6:30 - 8:30PM $13.50 Members/ $15 Nonmembers

Henna is an all-natural pigment made from the dried leaves of the henna plant. There are many recipes of the mix. In this class, we will use a mix of high quality henna, eucalyptus oil and fresh lemons. The application is painless (applied with a squeeze tube the mixture tingles on the skin).
Plan to spend 2 hours designing and applying henna to yourself or each other. (Drying time is approximately 1/2 hour). Wear clothes that can be rolled up to apply the henna. The mud stays on your skin until it flakes off, and leaves a light yellow design which will turn brown in 1-2 days. The color (red or brown) and longevity of the design depends on individual body chemistry and where it is placed. Most henna decorations last 1-4 weeks.
