Handmade Holiday Soap

Create beautiful, handcrafted gifts in time for the holidays while learning the traditional art of cold-process soap making.  Choose from a selection of fragrances, including seasonal scents.  In this beginner-friendly class, Jennifer of Olio Skin will guide you through the soap-making process from beginning to end. You’ll customize your batch by choosing your own scent, color, and botanical or exfoliating additions, then take home approximately 1.5 pounds of soap- enough to make eight guest-size bars.

Once cured, your soaps will be ready to wrap with ribbon and gift tags for thoughtful handmade holiday presents, hostess gifts, or for filling your own home with the aromas of the holidays. By making your batch in November, it will have plenty of time to cure before the holiday season.  No experience is necessary, and all materials are provided. Come ready to learn, experiment, and discover why Jennifer believes soap making is a practical skill worth bringing back.
