Learn how to make your own soap from scratch in this hands-on beginner workshop.

In this session, you’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of soap-making, including how the process works and how to safely create soap using simple, accessible ingredients. You’ll explore the cold process method and learn how to customise your soap with colours, fragrances, and natural additives such as clays or exfoliants.

During the practical part of the class, you’ll make your own batch of soap to take home, along with a reusable mould so you can continue experimenting.
