Learn the traditional art of making classic Castile soap from scratch. In this hands-on class, you’ll discover the basics of cold-process soap making, focusing on creating a simple, gentle olive-oil-based Castile soap.
We’ll cover essential ingredients, equipment, safe handling of lye, the soap-making process, and tips for creating a beautiful, long-lasting bar. You’ll make your own batch of Castile soap to take home and enjoy once it has fully cured.
No previous soap-making experience is required. All materials and safety equipment will be provided.
