Ever wanted to learn how to make soap? We are excited to announce two classes- February 28th and March 14 that give the opportunity to learn. We make soap “cold processed” which means it is a blending of vegetable oils with lye water and essential oils. The process is not hard, and the class is hands on
During this class students will learn the following:
History of Soap Making
Safety precautions
Overview of Equipment
Silicone vs making your own molds
The Base Oils
Using Lye
Essential vs Fragrant Oils
The process
Curing
Packaging
This is a hands on class, and as part of the class fee you will be provided the following:
Gloves
Goggles
Mask (optional, but when mixing the lye with water it is recommended)
The class will learn about the process, the ingredients, equipment and safety precautions and then will make a batch of soap. Students will also have the option to put their own label on the bars of soap. You will go home with 6 bars of already made soap. We cant send you home with the soap you make because it has to cure for at least a week before you can wrap it. We will also discuss why we choose the type of wrapping and packaging of our soap.
Cost: $45.00 and please wear old clothes.
Class dates are:
Saturday , February 28 10a-2p
Saturday, March 14, 10a-2p
Each class is limited to 4 people
You will also go home with a booklet that explains the process, provides a basic soap recipe and lists the sources we buy our supplies from.
