Soap Making Class (Part 2)

A sequel to our basic cold process soapmaking class.  

You will learn to make cold process shampoo bars and cold process shave soap.  You will get an idea of how to use a dual lye recipe (shave soap).  Each attendee will receive 3-4 bars of shampoo and 3-4 bars of shave soap.  Of course both can double very nicely as "regular" body soaps.  

Unlike our part one class each attendee will participate in the making of two "group batches" instead of each attendee making an individual soap batch.    We will only share one recipe for shampoo and one recipe for shave soap and the batches will be split among the attendees to take home. 

You will also make lotions!  You will be able to make a goats milk (or other types) lotion from start to finish using your choice of oils and scents.   You will take home a small batch of your handmade lotion - approximately  4oz.  (un-labeled lotion bottle(s) included). 

Note:  For safety reasons, we will only make lotions that include preservatives.  We can offer a paraben-free preservative for a few extra dollars.  

Safety equipment... full goggles and gloves....is required, but not provided for this class.  If you are unsure if what you have will work, please contact us prior to the class for us to take a look.   You can pre-purchase safety equipment however by noting such on your registration form. 

Attendees arriving without proper safety gear will be required to purchase the proper equipment from us at the start of the class (subject to availability).  Purchased goggles and gloves can be taken home with you.  Each individual must have their own equipment (sorry no sharing). 

Fees:

$75 per adult person (17+)
