This class will teach you the skills to create your own handcrafted, cold process, custom soaps from scratch. This demonstration class will show you step by step how to make a batch of cold process soap. During the class you will learn a brief history of soap, safety tips and practices, how to properly handle sodium hydroxide, the basic chemical process of soap, how to customize your soap batch with color, scents and additives, options for molds and what to do with your soap after it saponifies (chemically changes into soap).
Due to the time involved in making soap, you will not be making your own bar but will be given a detailed demonstration by the instructor with each step of the process. Every step of the process will be demonstrated and explained thoroughly. You will take home a bar of soap, a small soap mold, soap color, safety glasses, and literature on how to make soap. You will leave the class set up to make your own soap in the comfort of your own home.
The class will take place in the smaller building (receiving dock) behind the main/large building you see from the road. Please park in the front of the main building and follow the sidewalk around to the back. You will see a smaller metal building in the back of the property. Head on in and take a seat!
