What you need to know
-
This is the full, hands-on experience.
Participants will:
Work directly at a table to make and customize their own small loaf of soap
Be provided with safety gear (safety glasses, gloves, and a mask)
Receive a mold filled with their soap to take home
The soap will need to sit in the mold for 24–48 hours before being cut, so the mold goes home with you.
-
This option is for those who want to learn without participating in the hands-on portion.
Observers will:
Sit behind the participant tables with a clear view of the full process
Watch each step from start to finish
Receive the guide with recipe and instructions
Be able to ask questions throughout the workshop
Observers will not be seated at participant tables, as safety gear is not provided for these seats.
-
All attendees must be 14 years or older
A parent or guardian must be present for minors and willing to sign a full safety release
Regardless of age, observers will not be permitted to sit at participant tables due to safety requirements

"Christina is super knowledgable and a great teacher! We learned to make lard soap and she broke it down in easy steps for the beginner to learn. It was fun and chock full of information. The hands on experience was way better than learning online. I got to meet new people too! I can't wait for more workshops in the future."
