Soap & Such |
After having many inquiries on soap classes we have decided to offer a few different classes starting with the easy first. The first class will be a beginner's class with no lye involved. We will be using a soap base then adding "goodies" to the base to make your own signature bar. This will be a hands on class. All materials will be included and you will be taking home 4 bars of soap plus a mold to use on your own soaps. The class will begin at the very basics of deciding which base to use, best ways to melt, working with the base, ideas on additives, molds and preparation for gift giving. We will be going into detail on the benefits and merits of various additives as well as molds. Also many tips will be given on how you do NOT have to break the bank and most likely have plenty of additives and molds already sitting in your home. You can make a very unique, gift-worthy 4oz bar of all natural beautiful healthy soap for around .75 a bar. Cost for materials, booklet and class = $25.
