Midnight Kitchen

Thank you to Michelle of for hosting us for a Mushroom Discovery Workshop at Maison Robert Bélanger ! Registration for this event filled up so quickly, next time should we rent a bus? 😝

Our last Summer Workshop Series was ‘s Intro to Radical Home Economics: choose your own adventure! We made herbal vinegars to be used in a cleaning solution and as a hair rinse, and we talked about ways we can practice sustainability from clothes and cleaning to body care. We learned so much from this zine/workshop which debuted at Rad Frosh years ago! The zine is available in our zine library in the MK kitchen.🍋

Closing our summer workshop series is Radical Home Economics - practical and revolutionary skills for home and personal care. We'll explore some of the principles & approaches, tips and tricks, and discuss the potential of Rad Home Ec as a site for blooming personal and communal transformation. We'll look at DIY house cleaning and body care products, sewing and sustainable alternatives, and herbal medicines in your kitchen cupboard and garden.

Participants will get to take home their own DIY herbal vinegars.

This workshop is based on the zine of the same name published for McGill's Rad Frosh over a decade ago with new insights. It was originally inspired by the experience of trying to tackle the complicated and at times very strained relationship people can have with home & body care in day to day life.

Blueberryjams offers a variety of crafted products, penned texts, and skillshares with a focus on DIY, radical home economics, and herbalism through an emphasis on sustainability, creativity, and community.

Il s'agit d'un atelier d'introduction à l'économie domestique radicale, qui enseigne des compétences pratiques et révolutionnaires pour l'entretien de la maison et les soins personnels. Nous explorerons certains principes et approches, partagerons des conseils et astuces, et discuterons du potentiel de l'économie domestique radicale comme vecteur de transformation personnelle et communautaire. Nous aborderons les produits d'entretien ménager et de soins corporels faits maison, la couture et les alternatives durables, ainsi que les plantes médicinales que l'on trouve dans les placards de cuisine et les jardins.

Les participants pourront emporter chez eux leurs propres vinaigres à base de plantes faits maison.

Cet atelier s'inspire du zine du même nom publié il y a plus de dix ans pour McGill's Rad Frosh, avec de nouvelles perspectives.
