Please note this is a demo class, not hands on. Attendees will not be making soap but watching me make soap.
During this class you will learn how to make various types of soap, about the process, ingredients and tools needed. You will go home with recipes, resources and a bar of handmade soap. This will not be a scent-free class, however, I use only essential oils, no perfumes or fragrance oils.
The cost for this class is $20. Space is limited so register early.
