Class description
Welcome to my 2-hour Soap Making Class! This workshop is designed for beginners to gain a thorough introduction to soap making, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice.
Join my class and dive into the art of soap making! You'll learn the fundamentals of soap creation using gentle and bubbly premium oils like Shea Butter, Olive Oil, Castor Oil and other oils. Customize your soap with your favorite essential oils, choose whether to add exfoliants and pick your preferred color or leave it completely natural without scent or colors.
You'll take home the whole batch of around 800 grams of personalized soap at the end of the class, which you can cut the next day.
This beginner-friendly workshop is a fantastic opportunity to learn a new skill and make something truly unique. Don't miss out on this fun and creative experience!
