Event Overview

Learn how to make all natural soaps from a professional soap maker. Held at Shop 1021, you can enjoy amazing discounts and drinks while you learn hands-on how soap is made.


This is a great workshop for anyone who wants to better understand how soap is made using the cold-process method (from scratch), and learn what makes all natural products different from most commercial brands.


You will learn the art and science of soap making and leave with the ability to make your own soaps at home. Each student will choose a scent, or create their own custom blend, and make approximately one pound of soap to take.

Safety tips, as well as a beginner's soap recipe, will be provided.


Soaps take about four weeks to 'cure' so plan accordingly.


Small groups can offer a much more personal experience and are perfect for those just beginning to learn about soap making. The aim is to make students feel comfortable and questions are encouraged.


This workshop can be combined with others to create your own experience, and is also offered as a 1-on-1!  Ask about hosting a private event for you and your friends! Click the "Message Teacher" tab below to explore booking or "View Teacher Profile" to request a private event.
