Herbal Soap from Scratch
Tue Oct 6 • 6-8:30 PM • Ages 16+ • Make your own soap!
What to Expect
Tuesday, October 6, 6:00 – 8:30 PM
Explore the art and science of making handcrafted soap from scratch with Ann Staudt of Siberian Soap Co. Using the centuries-old cold-process soapmaking technique, participants will combine plant-based oils and lye to create soaps that are mild, moisturizing, and eco-friendly.
This workshop is very hands-on, with each participant creating and taking home 1 pound (5 full-size bars) of their own made-from-scratch batch of herbal handcrafted soap, customized with plant essential oils and botanicals. Long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toe shoes are required of all participants. Please bring an old towel or blanket to insulate your finished soap.
This program is perfect for ages 16+.
