Cold Process Soap Making - SOLD OUT
Advertisement
Led by Stacey Hickey.
A beginner's guide to cold process soap making has been created in a workbook format with written and visual photos, detailing the history of soap making, relevant safety information, recipes, and essential tips for novice soap makers.
This resource is designed for use during our workshop and as a take-home reference.
In consideration of the workshop's beginner level, the lye solution and oil mixture will be prepared ahead of time. During the workshop, participants will combine these prepared elements, proceeding to mix and pour the soap batter into soap moulds. Participants will also learn about adding colourants and essential oils, and creating textured designs.
After a curing period of six weeks, the soap will be prepared according to cosmetic standards for labelling and then packaged. Delivery/postage of your artisan soaps will be arranged.
This workshop offers an interactive learning experience limited to six participants, ensuring personalised instruction and guidance.
Stacey Hickey is an artisan soap maker dedicated to crafting natural soaps with natural colourants and essential oils.
Her business, Bay Soaps retails artisan products in local markets and businesses. As an active member and secretary of the New Zealand Soap Makers Association, Stacey stays informed about the rules, regulations and safety guidelines pertinent to cold process soap production.
Stacey is looking forward to sharing her passion and knowledge for soap making at her workshop.
