Join this two-hour workshop where we will delve into the fascinating chemistry of soapmaking. You'll learn to skillfully blend oils and lye, resulting in the creation of five to six bars of soap of your very own. Please keep in mind that your handmade soap will require approximately one month to cure before it's ready for use, but don't worry—comprehensive instructions will be provided during the class.

This is a fully immersive, hands-on experience where we provide all the necessary utensils and safety equipment, ensuring your safety and enjoyment throughout the creative process.
