Mothers Day Soap Making

Next date: Monday, 27 April 2026 | 06:30 PM to 08:00 PM

4 soaps wrapped in brown paper with a bow.

Soap is a staple, everyday item, but do we really understand how it’s made and how it works? Let alone how to make good choice about what soap to use for our skin and for the environment?

In this hands-on class you’ll learn all about the natural chemical reaction that creates soap, what to look for when buying soap, and how to make your own melt & pour soap!

You’ll make your own soap bar, customising them to suit your skin and needs. Need exfoliation? Add loofa! Need hydration? Add oats! Soap bars are eco-friendly as they have no packaging.

This workshop is suitable for vegans.

This workshop will cover:

make our own melt & pour soap (a kind of fast-tracked soap making process)
choose essential oil fragrances
choose colourings and exfoliants
learn about cold and hot process soap making, and the impacts of the different process
learn about soap-making ingredients, temperatures and safety
what to look for when buying soap and making soap.

Plus, we will address any of your questions about soap products – what to look for, what to avoid, and different skin types.
