About the Event
ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:
This beginner-friendly workshop introduces participants to the beautiful craft of botanical soap making in a calm and supportive environment.
The aim of the session is to help complete beginners feel confident creating their own natural soap using carefully selected ingredients and simple techniques. Participants will learn the fundamentals of cold process soap making, including an introduction to lye safety, oils and butters, and how to combine ingredients successfully.
The workshop focuses on removing overwhelm and simplifying the process, guiding participants step-by-step through creating their very first batch of soap. By the end of the session, each participant will have made their own botanical soap to take home, along with the knowledge and confidence to continue their soap making journey.
The teaching approach is hands-on, practical, and beginner-friendly, with demonstrations, guided support, and time for questions throughout.
