Have you ever wondered how to make soap from scratch? Well, now is your chance to learn about cold-pressed soap! This 90-minute class will start with a discussion of making a soap base using various oils and goat milk, as well as the challenges and safety precautions required when using sodium hydroxide for saponification. We will then make a batch of soap base as a group. The soap base will be divvied up and students will be able to color and scent their batch to make their very own personalized bars of soap. You will be sent home with three bars of your very own as well as instructions on how to cure it. Cold processed soap requires three to four weeks to cure, so please be sure you have a place with good airflow for it to rest for that time before using.
This class does involve the use of sodium hydroxide which is caustic, so attendees under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
