Please Note: Due to the “setting” time soap needs in the mold before the bars are ready to be moved or handled, participants will not be able to take home the soap made in class the very same day.
We will have some lovely bars of soap that have been pre-made by the same process taught in class, ready to take home that day. Participants will then be able to return to Earth Native to pick up the soap made in class after it has had time to firm up and be removed from the molds.
More details around how/when to pick up your soap will be given at class.
NATURAL SOAP MAKING
Have you ever admired naturally made soaps and wondered how they were made? The soap making process can seem a little intimidating with terms like saponification, trace and lye solution. But don't fret, join Earth Native for an adventurous day of soap making and we'll take you through the whole process from start to finish.
In this class you will find that there is no one right way to craft soap, but guiding principles for each process can keep you safe and increase your success as you creatively explore soap craft. The class will work through the making of hot process soaps and use the cure time to discuss other methods.
Topics will include safety, the addition of additives, fragrance mixing and molds. At the end of the class you'll have some bars of beautiful rustic soap to take home, but more than that, you'll have the knowledge you need to continue making soap on your own!
