Introduction to Soap Making

Learn how to make beautiful luxury handmade soap with natural ingredients and traditional methods in our One Day Soap Making Workshop

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.   

On this 1 day cold process soap making course you will make 3 batches of soap with a partner and take home about 21 bars in total.  Learn from Sarah Harper, Founder of The Clovelly Soap Company with over 18 years experience making handmade soap and skincare.  You will learn about the equipment, ingredients, history and how to safely make soap using simple ingredients.   This is a fun and absorbing day to learn skills or just enjoy a day out making new friends and lots of soap!
