Looking for fun DIY activities? Opal'z in Mountain View has this introduction to soap making to learn how to make beautiful, fragrant soap!
Our creamy, lathering soaps look and feel amazing and are so good for your skin.

  • 5/5 from Ivy Shih, attended Jul 2024: Ann is very knowledgeable and has been doing this professionally. I came to the class after watching a lot of soap making videos and got my questions answered here. Ann went through the basics on soap making types, and walked us through on how to make calculations of soap ingredients, and gave us a basic recipe we worked together to produce as a group. We got some soaps from Ann as a gift, and split the batch of soap to take home. I can't wait to try my own!
