Cold Process Artisan Soap Making Class

Join Shahn from Soo Good Soapery for this artisan soap making class in Box Hill and learn how to make your own natural, skin-nourishing soap loaves. These vegan-friendly artisanal soaps are good for you, good for the earth and so much fun to create!

During the class, you will learn how to make soap using the cold process method. Discover how to work safely with lye, how to mix your ingredients and how to incorporate aromatic essential oil blends and beautiful botanicals. You'll have access to a wide array of high-quality ingredients and essential oils, allowing you to customize your soap with delightful scents and beautiful colours. As you mix and pour your ingredients, you'll feel a sense of joy and creativity that comes from making something truly unique with your own hands.

The best part about making your own soap is that you know exactly what goes into your soap and onto your skin. The cold process method preserves the therapeutic properties of the essential oils, making it a perfect addition to your daily routine or a beautiful gift for your loved ones.

By the end of the class, you'll not only have learned the secrets of soap making but also have a collection of exquisite soaps to take home and enjoy or gift to friends and loved ones. Get ready to unleash your inner soap maker and create beautiful, all-natural soaps that are both functional and artistic.

Once you understand the principles of cold process soap making, you will be able to continue making your own soap at home using premium silicone moulds that we will give you to take home!

Please note: Your soap will need to cure for one to three days in the mould that you will take home with you before cutting it into bars. It will continue to cure and harden for a further four to six weeks.

Please also note that all add ons and selections are subject to availability and are not guaranteed unless ordered at least 2 weeks prior to the class.
