Learn the basics of making natural soap the old fashioned way!  Handmade soap retains all its natural glycerine and is extremely moisturizing.  Most store "soaps" are actually detergents, and contain chemicals and synthetic ingredients, which are readily absorbed into the body through the skin.  During this 7-8 hour course, we'll cover the history of soapmaking, basic cold-process (lye) soapmaking instruction, aromatherapy and how to create scent blends, the use of herbs and botanicals in soap, the "Ten Commandments of Soapmaking", recipes & resources, ways to package your soap for gift-giving, and more.  We will make a batch of soap and after it cures, you'll receive a bar from this batch.  (Four weeks).

If you would like an opportunity to participate when we make the batch of soap, you will need to bring safety glasses and a pair of latex gloves. (like dishwashing gloves). Yes, sometimes we look like quite the dork when we make soap! =)   You can also just observe if you prefer.  Either way, please wear something comfortable.

Course tuition includes booklet, snacks, and soap.  $75;  (Please advise us of any food allergies). A period of 45 min-1 hour will be provided for lunch. You may bring your food or opt to go out and eat.
