FAQs
How do I get to the venue and where can I find parking?
This class will be held at Motor City Soap's studio, a makerspace in a neighborhood called Core City in Detroit. We're located on Loraine St. just south of Grand River, near the I-94 and I-96 overpass. The studio is accessible by public transportation on the Grand River bus (#3) and the Warren bus (#8). Parking is located in the back of the building, through the electronic sliding gate. If the gate is closed, call or text 313-757-2129 and Caitlyn will let you in.
Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Is my ticket transferrable?
Yes! If you are unable to attend after purchasing your ticket, feel free to pass it along to another soapmaker.
Is there an age restriction?
Due to the nature of making soap from scratch, this class is designed for participants 18 and up. However, Caitlyn is happy to work with you to create a special event for little humans! Contact caitlyn (at) motorcitysoap (dot) com to start planning.
