My dear friends at Penland School of Craft have been using Arnica Salve and Boo Boo Salve for years now, and another batch of salves is headed to Penland this week.
I believe that enthusiasm for Boo Boo Salve began, not surprisingly, in the glass studio. It is amazingly effective to treat minor burns, especially when applied immediately. Then when little mishaps popped up in the wood shop and the iron studio, students found it to be the first thing they reached for to treat scrapes, cuts and burns.
Potters often have to deal with back issues. (The clay, after all, comes in boxes of two 25 pound bags.) Arnica Salve works wonders on those aching muscles. It also soothes aching hands that work so hard to make beautiful things. Lucky for us that Salli in the Penland School Store has had such personal success with both Arnica salve and BooBoo salve that she seems to be our best sales rep. Thanks Salli!
