Make Your Own Natural Soaps: An Evening with Barbara (15+ yrs experience)

$35 is charged at the venue to participate.

About the Workshop

Come spend a cozy, hands-on evening learning the art of natural soap making with Barbara – a maker who has spent the last 15 years crafting soaps, candles, and skin-loving serums using only gentle, natural and organic ingredients.

In this small-group workshop, Barbara will walk you through each step of the cold-process soap making method – from choosing oils and butters, to working safely with lye, to adding beautiful botanicals and scents. You’ll see the whole process up close, ask questions, and get plenty of one-on-one guidance.

What You’ll Do

• Learn the basics of cold-process soap making (in simple, non-scary terms!)
• Explore different natural ingredients like plant oils, butters, clays, and dried flowers
• Create your own batch of soap, customizing the scent, color, and botanicals
• Pour your soap into molds and decorate the tops with petals and herbs – just like Barbara’s signature bars

What You’ll Take Home

Everyone will leave with at least one (often two!) handmade soaps that you created yourself, along with a printed recipe and tips so you can keep making beautiful bars at home.

Who This Workshop Is For

This workshop is perfect for:

• Total beginners who have always wanted to try soap making
• Friends looking for a creative night out
• Makers and DIY lovers who care about natural, low-tox products
• Anyone who loves beautiful, gift-worthy soaps that are actually good for your skin

No experience is needed – just bring your curiosity. We’ll provide all ingredients, safety gear, and equipment.
