Handmade Soap Making

Details

Create your own set of Hand-made Soap bars.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

We all know that soap is one of those bathroom luxuries. The smell and texture contribute a vital sensory edge to our soak experience. And what’s going into the bar? Remember, this is a product you put on your skin everyday, and it should moisturise and protect - nobody wants skin that feels like a dry, flakey biscuit.

Shea butter has been used for centuries for a reason, to soften the skin and make a gentle soap. This class uses only the very best Soap bases from Shea Butter to Clear Aloe. So prepare to learn the cooking techniques, how to prepare a soap base and how to heat and monitor temperatures.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS WORKSHOP?

Choose from a selection of 12 natural colourants and experiment with marbling and layering colour. You will be selecting from 10 or more essential oils to fragrance the soap, as well as herbs and flowers that add to the dermatological properties in the bar.

As for shape it doesn’t have to be round, square or oblong, in this class you can pretty much select any style you fancy - but remember it might look pretty but soft edges make for a better soaping experience!

We will provide all the kit needed for this workshop. The class lasts approx. 90 mins in Kensal Green (a couple of stops from Paddington) or Kensal Rise.
