arrow_right_alt arrow_downwardGet ready to suds up and explore the science of soap making in this hands-on soap-making workshop. Learn about the chemistry and history of soap, and gain a deeper understanding of what soap truly is. We’ll introduce you to essential soap-making terms and their meanings, as well as teach you about soapmaking safety and how to reduce hazards.
You’ll have the opportunity to create your very own basic cold process Castille (pure olive oil) soap, perfect for sensitive skin, facial cleansing, body wash, shaving, and household cleaning. We’ll show you pouring techniques, including how to create a unique swirl pattern with natural colourants and guide you through scenting your soaps using essential oils.
You’ll also learn clever formulating tricks to reduce soap scum and build a fluffier lather. Finally, we’ll cover curing and storage, so you can get the most out of your soaps. Join us for a bubbly, hands-on experience that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the science of soap making.
Please note: that your soaps will need to cure for one week at our venue before they are ready for collection. Furthermore, you will need to wait at least 4 weeks to use what you make in class (as with all cold process soap), but it will totally be worth it when you use that first slice!
This class requires at least 5 students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class

We will inspire you to pick up that pen, paintbrush, hammer or sewing machine and flick the switch that will kickstart a whole new way of life.Community values lie at the heart of our project. We collaborate with local artists and industry experts to teach classes and utilise local suppliers for any materials needed. We also provide a creative environment for emerging artists to produce and sell work, and meet like minded individuals.
