What you'll do
In this workshop you will learn how to make your own 100% natural soap and shampoo bars using the hot process method. This workshop is perfect for beginners. You will learn how to prepare, make and pour your soap and shampoo bars and how to do so safely.
We'll begin with a thorough explanation of the equipment and materials required and how to do so affordably and sustainably. We will then move on to a detailed demonstration of how to mix and prepare your soap base and you will have time to experiment. There will be a few bases available and a selection of essential oils, colours, exfoliants and other additives to add to your soap. We will also make a batch of shampoo bars that will be shared among participants.
All materials and tools are supplied on the day. You will go home with your very own custom made soaps and a few bars of shampoo each plus instructions for how to continue at home.
We will use caustic soda to make the lye required to make soap. You will be shown how to use this safely.
No creative experience necessary.
This workshop is great for individuals and couples as well as for a hens party, baby shower, birthday, special occasion, team building activity, corporate event, bucks party or Christmas party.

The class was interesting. I had no experience, the teacher makes it easy for me to understand every details and she was patiently answering to all our questions. I can say I am 100% confident to make soap and shampoo. She also give us websites to buy equipment and ingredients and that we can call her if we needed help in the future.
