I have created this class to teach you how to confidently formulate and make your own natural soap step by step.
What is included?
- Soap ingredients
- Soap moulds that you can keep (cardboard)
- Education
- Making your own 500g batch of soap
- WhatsApp support after class for any questions
- Printed handouts
- Photos for social media
What will you learn?
- Safety guidelines
- How to calculate confidently the recipe of your soap (lye/oil ratio)
- Make a basic soap batch of your own design
Time
The course and the soap making itself will take up about 3 hours, but best if no one has to rush somewhere afterwards, as we might finish earlier or later, depending on how we progress.
Location
Due to the current situation there will be no group classes held in a venue. Instead, I come to your place and teach 1-on-1 or for a small group of maximum 3 people.
A group class will take place in the home of the participant, whoever has a suitable space.
Equipment I will provide:
- Safety goggles
- Bowls, spatulas, utensils
- Hand mixer
- Kitchen scale
- Soap ingredients
- Soap moulds
- Handouts, calculation worksheets
Equipment the participants provide:
- Apron
- Face masks
- Rubber cloves
- Long sleeve top that protects your arms
- Playing clothes in case we get messy
- A bigger table where we can set up our soap lab
- Old newspaper to cover our work area
- A safe well-ventilated room, with no pets or small children around, preferably no distraction
- An outdoor area where we can mix our lye solution (optional)
- Kitchen scale if available
- A kitchen stove where we can melt the solid oils
- Calculator or phone with calculator function
