Description

Beating, soaking, wringing and making your own ash-based laundry detergent… workshops to discover the techniques of yesteryear.
Wednesdays, July 8 and 22: "The Great Wash" Come discover the age-old ritual of the great wash, as it was once practiced in villages and on farms. You will participate in the various traditional stages of this communal and convivial event: sorting, pouring, beating, wringing… reproducing the gestures of yesteryear. Please note: on Wednesdays, July 8 and 22, meet directly in the parking lot opposite the community center in Saint-Cyr-sur-Menthon, 42 Place Saint-Cyr. The activity will end at the museum; please arrange transportation. Wednesdays, July 15 and 29: "Natural Laundry Detergent" Come make your own natural laundry detergent, using plants and wood ash, just like the washerwomen of yesteryear. Effective, economical, and ecological, you won't be able to live without it!
