In this introductory soap-making workshop, Sonia will share her methods of creating gentle and non-drying soap that contains shea butter, coconut oil and olive oil. You’ll learn the basics of the soap-making process and how to customise it to suit your needs. You’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the products we use daily and discover a more sustainable, personal alternative to store-bought soaps. By the end of the session, you’ll take home a handmade bar of soap to cure, sample, and inspire your soap-making journey.
