ABOUT THIS EVENT
Event Category

Education

Event Overview

An introduction to the cold process method of soap making, taught by people who've been doing it professionally for over a decade. Commercially made soaps are full of detergents and chemicals that strip skin of its natural moisture. Our soaps only contain all-natural ingredients, making them safe for even the most delicate skin.

The thought of making soap often intimidates most people (think Fight Club), but we teach it in a way that makes it fun and understandable for almost everyone. If you can follow basic cooking instructions, you can make handmade soap. In this class, the student will learn a brief history of the origins of soap, the chemical process of how the ingredients turn into soap, where the materials can be obtained when making soap at home, a run-down of the tools and equipment used, then boom-- we're going to put all that information together and make a batch ourselves! All materials are provided and each student will go home with a pound of their own handmade soap (a $30 value)! Please keep in mind that handmade soap takes about 4-6 weeks curing time before it is usable, so please plan accordingly if you are making your soap as a gift. Class time runs about an hour and a half.

*Parking is located in the public lot behind the building or street parking in front of the building.

Minimum age

All ages welcome

Prerequisites

** Due to the caustic nature of some ingredients that are used in this class you must be 16 or older to participate.
** This experience is designed for hobby enthusiasts. If you are looking to launch a soap business, please respect the time and money we have invested in our craft and do not take this workshop.

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Kate Bethel started off making soap as a hobby back in 2005. By 2007, she had opened a small brick and mortar shop called Maven in downtown Maplewood, making all of her creations in the back of the store. Today, Maven sells handmade soaps both retail and wholesale all over the country.

    Really had a great time at this workshop! The owner and her mom were so helpful, informative, and friendly. There was no judgement when I literally messed up step #1 either 😂. It was great learning a new craft and meeting new people in the area who like to... wait for it... dabble in new hobbies. Definitely would recommend to any fellow soap enthusiast!

    Had the small batch soap making class tonight. Had a ball!!! The instructor was great!! Explained the history and how different soaps are made. Made it so easy with all the ingredients and utensils needed. Took a lotion making class here in the past. Will definitely take more classes. Plus I got to take my soap home to use and/or give some as gifts.

    This was really fun and you take home a nice amount of product. It was straightforward and a nice amount of time (didn't drag on, not too brief). The instructor let us take a photo of the instructions but I would have preferred having a printed copy to take home just because that's a bit easier than trying to read from a photo or having to retype it from a photo. I also would have liked a bit more info in terms of recommendations for which types of oils are better once we dabble past the olive oil and castor oil used in class, what we should look for in terms of buying fragrances or additives, etc. I recognize this probably goes a bit beyond the scope of the class a bit. Perhaps a second intermediate class could be offered after you take the intro one where you learn more about other oils or who to layer the colors, etc. It would help retention for the studio and would help the students expand their knowledge.

    Had a lot of fun in this soap making class. The class was just about full (7 out of 8) and it's always more enjoyable to have a bigger group when going to a class like this! She gave a history of soap and had a Q&A session. I feel confident from the teacher's instruction that I will be able to make soap at home if I choose.

    The class was very informative. I was hesitant to make any soap because lye seemed sort of scary to use unless I was in a science lab. There were careful instructions for safety but it was much easier than I thought it would be. I might try to make some soap at home as gifts!

I signed up because I was interested in getting a little better handle on how to tackle soap making myself at home, and I figured what better way than to learn from a pro, and a local woman entrepreneur. I got all the info and confidence I needed, and Kate was so great, down to earth, helpful, and very, very open with information and answering all of our questions. I had such a great time, and I would recommend this class to anyone! So fun :)

    I had no idea what to expect when I signed up for this class and boy was I pleasantly surprised. This was such a fun night! Kate, he owner and instructor, was amazing. She is very knowledgeable about the various ways to make soap and even gave us a history of soap. She chose a method that was easy to follow and was extremely prepared for each of us. We even threw her a curve ball when one person who signed up wasn’t on the list and Kate and Carrie were extremely accommodating. I learned so much about making soap and am now inspired to make some on my own at home.

    I had a great time at this class. Loved that it was a small group, we all got to know one another. The instructors made the class very easy to follow along and answered all the questions we had along the way. After friends saw the soap I walked away with from the class , I have 4 other people that want to go with me when I go again.

    Kate was an excellent teacher who made us feel safe and informed throughout the process. I had a really fun time making soap and would love to attend again in the future if she hosts an intermediate/advanced soap class!

    The class was great and very informative on the history of soap making. I was happy with the soap I made and the amount we made. My only negitave comment would be that I asked for a copy of the "recipe" but was told they didn't have one.

    Great set up - easy to follow - lots of fun options for scents and textures. Easy to follow instructions - very safe and clean environment to work in. Everything laid out and ready to go, yet everyone left with their own 1 lb (about 6 bars) of soap that was different from everyone else.

    I had an amazing time! I learned something new in a great space. I cannot wait to use this soap. My kitchen smells like Hawaii.

    Really fun to see and participate in how soap is made. I enjoyed both the hands-on and brief lecture portion. The class only ran about an hour as opposed to an hour and a half, which might be good news for some folks on a work night.

    Kate is not only an amazing entrepreneur but also a fantastic teacher. We learned about the history of soap and different processes for soap making. Kate did a great job of highlighting differentiation in process during each step and is incredibly knowledgeable about her craft. I would highly recommend this class. Also consider attending with friends. We did the class with a group of four and two other people who signed up individually and it was a great time. Thank you Kate and Maven!

    It was a neat experience. Very bland and reading off paper and make sure you bring a drink and eat something before as this is right during dinner. Teacher and helper seemed a bit stressed and it showed. No music and six chairs. I feel like this could have been done in 20 minutes and not an hour. Not worth the price point, I'd say $35 per person tops. Great concept just needs honest and more thought out and put together. Maybe refreshments and some background music or something. I legit sang to make it more interesting. Overall 3/5.

We love homemade soap and it was a great experience getting to make our own. The process was fun and the instructor made it easy and interactive. We were able to customize our scents and add salt for an exfoliation effect. We were able to take home enough for 8-9 bars each and gave some to family as gifts!","teacher_response":null}
