Recent reviews of DIY Soap Making Class for Beginners
- 5/5 from Francis Davis, attended Oct 2026: FANTASTIC DIY Beginners Soap Making Class! Justine & Francis' Review: "Loved this DIY Soap making class. The instructor (Kathy) is not only highly knowledgeable about soap making, she is compellingly passionate about her craft, as well. She provided easy-to-understand instructions, was patient with students, and more than willing to answer questions. At the end of the class, Kathy gifted students with samples of her soap. We took them home, and that night, we experienced the most enjoyable suds-galore and fresh-feeling shower—EVER! To go into details, with store-bought soap, my skin turns out dry and ashy, and it feels sticky and chafing when trying to sleep. Not with Kathy’s soap—we marvelled at how silky smooth our skin feels, and the fragrance of the natural oil(s) is delightful and pleasant.”

- 5/5 from Clare Brennan, attended Feb 2025: What a great class! Kathy was very knowledgeable and a great teacher. She led us through the process of making soap slowly and carefully, demonstrating how to do each step. We then were able to make our own soap, using a wide range of provided materials. Kathy was patient and answered all questions thoughtfully. There was a lot to absorb but I walked away with beautiful looking and smelling bars of soap, as well a wonderful goodie bag of resources. Kathy even provided us with a delicious lunch! I really enjoyed the class and the company.
