Event Overview

Learn How to Make All Natural Soaps from a Professional Soap Maker in your own Private Lesson!

This is a great workshop for anyone who wants to better understand how soap is made using the cold-process method (from scratch), and learn what makes all-natural products different from most commercial brands.

You will learn the art and science of soap making and leave with the ability to make your own soaps at home. Each student will choose a scent, or create their own custom blend & make approximately one pound of soap to take.

Safety tips, as well as a beginner's soap recipe, will be provided.

Soaps take about four weeks to 'cure' so plan accordingly.

Private workshops can offer a more personal experience and are perfect for those just beginning to learn about soap making. The goal is to make students feel comfortable and questions are encouraged.

Sign up with a friend if you like! Registration is open for up to 2 as space is limited. Email for more than one additional guest or consider a group event or hosting a private event for you and your friends!

If you prefer a 1-on-1 experience, just let me know when you sign up and I will close the registration for your workshop!

I make products & host this workshop in my home. My availability can be extremely flexible to accommodate your schedule! If a different date or time would be more convenient, or you don't see dates listed online, please let me know and we will set up a time that works best for you!
