Cold Process Soap Making

Leave with 2 lbs. of your own customized soap incorporating oils such as coconut, olive, palm and cocoa butter with lye and water. The lye goes through the chemical reaction of saponification and is not present in the end product. This hands-on class will give you an overview of the process along with handouts to help your success making more in the future. After the soap has "cured," you will have hard, cleansing, lathering, moisturizing bars of soap. Give as gifts or keep for yourself.

$43 materials fee payable to the instructor. Bring a sturdy bag to take home your soap. No experience required. Due to the use of lye, you must wear a long-sleeved shirt (cotton or natural fiber preferred); instructor will provide all supplies including safety equipment. All students must be 18 years of age or older.
