Beekeeper, avid knitter, wanna be homesteader and soapmaker. Just a few of the feathers in Erin's creative cap.
After delving into the world of soapmaking around 7 years ago as a way to expand the product range at her business baby, Honey and Glow, Erin instantly fell in love with the way such mundane, every day ingredients like olive and coconut oil can be transformed into soaps that make your skin feel far better than any store bought body wash can. Using only natural ingredients, like coloured clays, organic exfoliants and essential oils, Erin's soaps are a treat to the skin and senses.
In the years since, Erin has made thousands and thousands of bars of soap, including for businesses all over the country, now she's passing that knowledge and experience on to you!

Erin was warm, welcoming and encouraging from the moment I pulled up in her driveway to the minute she helped load my car with my handmade soaps. It's been a few decades since I did science at school but Erin spoke in terms I could understand and helped me enjoy the science behind soap making. A truly terrific class that I enjoyed every minute of.

My mum and I did Erin's Honey and Glow beginners soap making workshop yesterday. It was excellent. Erin had everything laid out to make it safe as a process, easy to understand and fun to do. Everything was extremely well organised and Erin had lots of tips and information to pique our interest in soap making for the future. The venue was good allowing plenty of room for participants. The best thing was that Erin made the soap making process, which can be quite daunting, seem easy, simple and safe. Highly recommended and we've already booked in for the next one!

Thank you so much Erin!

A wonderful course run by Erin. I loved it and came home with 12 pretty soaps. Erin explained the process so well. Can't wait to make more

I had the best time at the Honey and Glow soap workshop! Erin was very friendly and welcoming and explained the process really well. As a soap-making first timer, I walked away with some beautiful and unique soaps that I can’t wait to use (and maybe gift, if I don’t use them all for myself!)

Erin's beginners soap workshop was fantastic! She explained the process in a way that made it easy for newcomers to understand. Her hands-on approach ensured that everyone left with beautiful soap that we made OURSELVES. I can't wait for the next workshop!

Such a lovely afternoon Erin was a great teacher and I’ve learnt things about the craft I never knew I needed to know!
A great event to relax into the afternoon with a group of friends or a chance to make new connections.
We took home a beautiful collection of our own creations and i have to say, I’m pretty proud of myself
I would highly recommend this class and can’t wait for an opportunity to jump into another experience with the lovely Honey & Glow!

Erin was absolutely fantastic.
We sat outside prior to making the soap to discuss the history and process of soap
Making. The venture was great, a home studio with loads of room to move around. There was plenty of ingredients and we got to choose our own essential oils from a great selection.
We made 10 beautiful soaps each to take home Erin was very knowledgeable and shared all her secret tips.
My house smells Devine.
Thanks for a great afternoon of soap making with likeminded people.
Bring a tray with you to carry your soaps home.

Wow what a great afternoon! Erin was a great teacher and took the time to explain the history and benefits of home made soap, as well as demonstrating every step of the process. The class was engaging, fun and well paced. I loved the flexibility of deciding how to scent and decorate your soaps, and was incredibly impressed with the quantity we got to take home - Christmas presents sorted! Thoroughly recommend this great value class

Erin is a fantastic and very knowledgeable teacher. The class was so much fun to do and we all walked away with multiple bars of gorgeous smelling, pretty soaps each.
Erin provides easy to follow instructions and demonstrations.
I highly recommend this class, I will do it again making new fragrences and designs and I'm looking forward to trying the other classes she has available.
