Come spend a delightful time with us crafting your own Valentine’s inspired soap bars with organic oils, essential oils & natural colorants.
About this Event

It’s the perfect way to unwind, unleash your creativity, and treat yourself or someone special to a handmade gift.

Participants will learn how to create cold process soap from scratch, incorporating beautiful botanicals and charming Valentine’s Day-inspired shapes for a truly unique and heartfelt creation.

In this workshop, we’ll break down the soap-making process in a way that feels approachable and unrushed, perfect for beginners and curious makers alike. You’ll learn:

🧼 The basics of cold process soap and how it works
📐 How to read and understand a soap recipe
🌸 The benefits of essential oils and how to choose blends that feel grounding and calming
⚖️ Why handmade soap is gentler and more nourishing than store-bought bars
☠️ Important lye safety tips so you feel confident creating on your own

✨ Then the hands-on portion begins. You’ll mix your oils, choose a custom scent blend, add natural colorants, and pour your soap into a batch designed to carry you gently into the new year.

Whether you’re carving out time for yourself, gathering with friends, or looking for a meaningful way to reset, this workshop offers space to slow down and create with intention.

✨ What’s Included:
✔ Hands-on instruction for crafting cold process soap
✔ A curated selection of dried floral botanicals, essential oils, and natural colorants to customize your 1lb batch
✔ High-quality, skin-loving ingredients for nourishing soaps
✔ Sweet bites and herbal tea to enjoy while you create
✔ A take-home packet with our organic soap recipe, step-by-step instructions, and blending tips so you can continue your practice at home

Come ready to slow down, work with your hands, and leave with a skin nourishing soap batch crafted by you.
