  Shamus is a fantastic teacher. He's clearly very knowledgable, patient, and passionate about what he does. I had a great time taking this class, and learnt a lot. Expect to learn about not just the process of making cold process soap, but also the mechanics. He also shares good things to watch out for or consider when you want to experiment with making soap on your own.

  This was such a fun and informative class! From the moment I met the instructor, Shamus, I felt comfortable, as we were friends for a very long time. Shamus is a natural at what he does! He thoroughly explains the process of soap making. He makes this class so enjoyable. Thank you for having me as a student. :)

  This class was amazing --- fun and educational. I left feeling that I truly learned how to make soap, something I have wanted to do for a long, long time. Shamus is a terrific teacher. He took the time to make sure we understood each step of the process, stressing safety issues as well as answering our many questions and sharing his sources for supplies. There was plenty of time for hands-on learning as well. And to top it all off, the soap feels and smells delicious. I cannot wait to use it and to make more of it at home. What a beautiful experience.

  Thanks so much to the lovely Shamis for teaching me how to make soap! Great session with one other lady in the kitchen of his cosy home. I can't wait to make some soap myself.

  Shamus is an awesomely amazing instructor. I read books and borrowed dvds from the library on this subject but this is hands-on the best way to learn. He teaches you about awareness and he informs you on the process. He simplified two weeks worth of reading into a two hour class. You'll leave ready to go out and create your own soaps! I look forward to another class with him, so I'm actually signed up for his candle making class. He is passionate about his works and it's contagious.

  This was a fantastic personal and fun experience! I can't say enough great things about this class. I learned so much and enjoyed every minute of it. I lost my fear of handling Lye and am ready and confident to start experimenting and making soap on my own. Shamus is very open and knowledgeable and generous with his knowledge. Highly recommend!

  The class was so much fun! Shamus is so personable and really down to earth in his approach. Made me feel like I was hanging out with a friend; very casual, fun way of learning how to make soap! I was proud to overcome my fear of working with lye after his class (and using a stick blender :)). Looking forward to taking more classes from him in the future!

  Shamus was knowledgeable, personable, and funny and I left his class excited about the soap making adventures that I will embark on at home. I received a nice little gift bag of goodies and he left the door open to follow up with him about questions I might have as I start making soap on my own. I highly recommend him and his soap making 101 class!

  This class was a blast! Learned a lot and it was very informative. I'm glad I took this before attempting to make soap myself because many of my questions were answered and I was able to learn the entire process! Shamus was very thorough in answering questions about soap making and his business in general, and I couldn't help but to buy a few extra soaps for myself! I would recommend this class to anyone, whether you want to start making soaps yourself or just have fun and experience something new. Thank you Shamus, I will definitely be trying this at home!

  Wow! What a surprise. We went to this class thinking "How much fun could soap making ACTUALLY be?" Well, let me tell you...We had a blast! Shamus knows his craft and is incredibly passionate about sharing it with the community at large. His home is a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. It is perfect for the kind of intimate setting one would want with this kind of class. Truth be told, we were a bit apprehensive of working with lye--but his confidence shines through and empowered both of us to get over that mental block and create some beautiful smelling artisinal soaps. Additionally, I am a VERY curious individual, and Shamus was incredibly patient with my never ending stream of questions. This was both fun and informative--a great way to spend a Sunday evening. I can not recommend this class enough. We look forward to any classes he may teach in the future. Keep ip the great work, Shamus!

  As a fellow artisan, I was excited to see just how soap was made. Shamus provided some fun history on how soap originated and shared his own personal story of how he got into making soap. We had a great time and Shamus was a lot of fun. You can always tell when someone is doing what they love and it's evident by the way Shamus runs his business that he truly is following his passion.
