Cold Process Soap Making Workshop
Description
Industrial-produced soaps are often much like junk food, so why not produce your own and know what is in them? Learn about your skin type and create any soap you want, it is that easy!
Explore the industry and the meaning of its labels as well as how to produce your own products in a healthier way.
In this intimate class, you will learn how to make your own organic soap with ingredients and equipment that you (probably) already have in your kitchen. Your teacher will show you how to make soaps with pure natural materials with no artificial scents or additives. Note that you will learn how to use caustic soda safely, as it's an essential ingredient for soap-making.
With or without any experience you will learn the foundations of the cold process technique. You will be choosing your favourite natural essential oil and colours. You will learn how to add herbs, scents and other additives to your soaps. We will explore tips and tricks (troubleshooting) about ingredients and tecniqueto help you create your very own soap recipe.
Once you know the basics, you will be able to customise the recipes into your own signature soap for personal use, to gift, for-profit or just a fun activity with friends learning about what goes into making soap.
That's not all, you will also leave the class with two bars of soap (about 1.5 kilo) for you to enjoy and lots of notes with all the information you need to start making your own soap at home.

Hi there
My name is Elena and I start my business in 2016 making candles
Candle making is a form of art and in one that I have a wealth of knowledge and expertise gained over many years of candle making. My expertise goes far beyond wax and wicks. I have hosted many classes and met many wonderful people and each time it truly brings so much joy to my heart just by seeing people from all walks of life including first-timers, hobbyists and entrepreneurs enjoying my class making candles.
Throughout my class, I ensure everyone is involved and engaged having a hands-on experience at making candles. I discuss how different ingredients react and how to work with them safely, how candle testing is conduct and all the troubleshooting you might encounter on your jorney. At the end of my sessions, I only hope that I made a difference to someone not only by improving their knowledge and skills in the subtle art of candle making but also ensuring a fun weekend experience had by all.
I must also mention that I do my absolute best in protecting our beautiful planet. I make every endeavour to ensure the products and the ingredients I use is sustainable and ethically sourced where possible. I would like to add for your peace of mind - my fragrances are completely vegan and cruelty-free and adhere to RIFM and IFRA standards for safety and purity.
My candles and my soap is created with passion and represents my craft.
With that said, I hope to see you on my next workshop and get your feedback on board as I always aim to improve.
