Soap Making Learn how to make soap the way your grandmother used to! This ancient method of soap making has evolved
and become quite sophisticated over the years. The new formulas and quality ingredients we have today yield beautiful soaps
that are great for your skin and free of synthetics. In this workshop you will learn the basics of cold process soap making,
as well as the properties and benefits of the different oils, butters, extracts and additives. Each participant makes a small
batch of the recipe of their choice (6+ bars). As well, participants keep their own soap mould and take home recipes and instructions.
