Upcoming Soap Making Classes
NOTE: To keep everyone as safe as possible during the uncertainty of the current pandemic, we're scheduling the following classes either outside (masks required, limited # of participants) or online. We're doing all we can to follow CDC and state guidelines, but by signing up you're acknowledging the inherent (though hopefully minimal) risk that is present in any group activity at this time.
PLEASE do NOT attend class if you aren't feeling well. Refund policies are listed after in-person class descriptions.

By this point, we all know that washing hands/masking-up/social distancing are the easiest ways to stay healthy. So why not make soap outside with pastoral farm sounds adding to the atmosphere? Clean and green,
Bring your fanciest face mask and join us at Three Leaf Farm, the perfect setting to learn a great new skill, while observing safety protocols (masks, distancing, being in fresh air!) to keep us all extra safe as we navigate our way back to in-person classes.
We'll discuss the value of bypassing commercial “soaps” - actually detergents that can wreak havoc on both the environment and your system beyond dry skin. Thoughtfully crafting your own soap with a few simple, skin supportive ingredients is both a creative and environmentally savvy alternative. As an experienced, award-winning soap artisan, I'll show you some tips that elevate beginner soap design into something special.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the basics of making classic cold-process soap. We'll review safety tips, create a beginners' supply list, and get creative with customization techniques. You'll leave inspired with simple recipes, a resource list, handcrafted soap, and (quite possible) a happy obsession with a new creative pursuit. :)
NOTE:
Because we work with basic chemistry (combining fats/oils with lye), this class is for adults (16+ years) - not recommended for younger children.
You're welcome to do this class with an older teen, but please note that the fee is per participant.
*COVID-19 cancellation policy:
