By this point, we all know that washing hands is one of the easiest ways to stay healthy - but why settle for harsh, mass-produced bars? How about learning to make natural, hand-crafted soap outside at a local, sustainable farm? Clean and green,
Join us at Dharma's Garden in North Boulder or Three Leaf Farm in Lafayette, each a perfect, idyllic setting to learn a new, creative yet practical skill.
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, hand-poured, cold-process soap. We'll review safety tips, create a beginners' supply list, and get creative with customization techniques. You'll leave inspired with detailed notes, 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.
