About this Event
Planning for 4 or more people? !
Some people say millennials are killing the soap bar, but not in this studio: we love lathering up with a handmade bar of soap and avoiding those plastic bottles whose pumps aren't even recyclable!
In this introduction to soapmaking, Hannah Moore of Moore Soaps will explain the basic chemistry and materials used to make soap from scratch, as well as safety precautions. Under her guidance, students will create cold process soap batter and customize it with scents and botanical elements. You will also have the opportunity to decorate your own soap packaging, using CRAFT's supplies. Soap needs to cure, so you will be able to cut up your pieces after 24 hours and use the soap after six weeks. Bonus: we'll give you soap to tide you over until yours is ready to use!
In this workshop, you will
- go through the entire soapmaking process,
- learn about soapmaking safety and other logistics like where to get supplies for more soapmaking in the future,
- receive all the supplies you need to
- make a pound of soap with your choice of essential oils for scent,
- create packaging for your soap, especially fun if you will give your handmade soap as gifts, and
- learn in a small class with individual support as needed.
