Soap Making 101
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.
