Learn how to make your own bars of hard, lye-based soap in a simple and safe way! You'll be amazed at how easy it is to make high-quality, customizeable bars of soap in your own kitchen with simple ingredients that can (mostly) be found at the grocery store.
We'll discuss safety, oil choices, scents and add-ins, and make soap together in small groups. You'll then get to take pre-made hardened bars of soap home to continue curing, and of course, to use.
Our soap will be vegan, but we'll also discuss lard soap, coffee soap, and milk soaps.
