Herbal Infused Oils Workshop
2026-04-12 13:00 - 16:00 | Carleton Place Collective, 155 Industrial Ave
Have you ever made a salve and thought you did a pretty good job – until you tried someone else’s and thought… how did they do that? Yours was good. Theirs was great.
This happened in my own kitchen. Multiple batches, years of experimenting – moldy oils, medicine I wasn’t sure even made it into the oil, products that didn’t last. Sound familiar? I was frustrated. Curious. Where was I missing the mark?
What hurt the most was the cost of learning. Plants I’d grown or foraged, oils I’d sourced with care. They gave everything they had – and it felt like I wasn’t honouring them.
Everything changed when I realized there was far more to preparing herbal infused oils than the pour and store method. Once I got into the details, the nitty gritty, my oils went from good to great.
And I want to bring you along for that learning.
So you can prepare oils for salves, lip balms, body butters, shampoos and more – that are potent, shelf-stable, and truly honour the plants and their medicine.
_
This workshop welcomes all skill levels and is ideal for anyone interested in making natural, botanical-based herbal oils — whether for DIY skincare, sensitive skin needs, or simply to bring more plant-based goodness into their daily routine. Come learn, create, and connect with fellow makers!
_
This is Part One of a two-part series on preparing herbal infused oils.
Part One sets the foundation for creating oils with dried plants.
Part Two — coming this summer — ventures into fresh plants and resins. (Get on the waitlist here.)

Pat Moore and Pat MacLaughlin - Art House Music Concert
2026-04-09 19:00 - 21:00 | Carleton Place Gallery, 210 Bridge Street, Carleton Place
Pat Moore and Pat McLaughlin are two Canadian musicians who frequently collaborate, often performing together as a duo or with other musicians in the bluegrass and folk music scene. Pat McLaughlin plays guitar and provides vocal harmonies for Pat Moore, who is a singer-songwriter.
Pat Moore’s voice has a warm and expressive quality, as perfectly suited to a rich ballad, as it is to an up-tempo power song. She moves easily from the storytelling of the singer/songwriter genre, to the lonesome sound of traditional country and bluegrass. Born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario, she grew up in a house filled with music, from show tunes to Peter, Paul, & Mary, and Gordon Lightfoot; and later jazz masters like Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles to bluegrass legends like Bill Monroe, and Flatt and Scruggs. As a young girl she would sing harmonies with her sisters while doing the supper dishes – songs from the Momas and Papas, and Simon and Garfunkel.
They are both associated with other musicians like Ann Downey and have performed at various Ontario festivals and venues, such as the Ottawa Grassroots Festival.
“Audiences delight in Pat Moore’s radiant stage presence and warm,
expressive voice. She writes, plays and sings from the heart, delivering strong stories of life andlove we long to hear again… and again… and again!”
Chris White, Host, Canadian Spaces, CKCU. &Founding Artistic Director, Ottawa Folk Festival
“Pat McLaughlin is one of the most tasteful and masterful guitar/mandolin B y : players you’ll hear- ever!” Everyone who’s Heard Him
