You step through a bright red door into a studio where the scent of citrus and sea salt hangs in the air, and a long worktable waits with glass jars of botanicals. The instructor—often a SCAD-trained creative—lays out small scoops of pecans, grits, organic sugar and harvested sea salt, and invites you to mix a scrub that smells like the Georgia coast.
