Soap Making Workshop (Cold process soap making)

In this workshop, you will learn to make cold-process soap safely and with confidence. This introductory class covers ingredients, safety procedures, basic formulation theory, and cold process soap making. Create a batch of soap scented with optional essential oils of your choosing, perfect for gifts and personal use. Our workshops are hands-on soap-making - meaning that after your instructor demonstrates the process and safety procedures used, YOU become the soap-maker!

This workshop is intended as an introduction to soap making procedures to make cold process soap from scratch. You will learn:

• The history of making soap from scratch
• Basic soap chemistry
  
• Safety precautions working with lye (sodium hydroxide)
  
• Measuring, mixing, and monitoring temperatures
  
• Soap molds, liners, and other necessary equipment
  
• Demonstration of making soap
  
• Essential oil blending
  
• You will make your first batch of soap, which you will take home

Prepare for Class

• Come with good humor and a willingness to learn.
  
• Think about an essential oil mix you would like for your soap.
  
• Please wear old clothes in case of splatter: Long sleeves (not flowy); Full-length pants; Closed-toed shoes
  
• Bring your mask – we will use it during the lye portion for protection. We will have several on hand if needed.

Remember, patience is key as the curing process takes several weeks, but the end result is worth the wait. Happy soap making!

By the end of this workshop, you will have the knowledge and skills to create your own custom cold process soaps at home. We look forward to seeing you in class and helping you start your soap-making journey!
