Learn the timeless art of soapmaking – and take home a year’s worth of natural soap!
Join us for a hands-on workshop in Los Angeles where you’ll learn how to make your own cold process soap from scratch. This traditional method of soap making creates rich, long-lasting bars with luxurious lather — and gives you full control over what goes into your soap.
What You’ll Learn
  • Safety & Preparation – How to protect yourself when working with lye, and the key steps to safe, successful soap making.
  • The Cold Process Method – From mixing oils and lye to adding botanicals, scents, and natural colors.
  • Creative Finishes – Customize your soap with essential oils, dried herbs, flower petals, clays, or mineral pigments.
  • Pouring & Curing – You’ll pour your own full loaf mold of soap (enough for a year’s worth of bars!) to take home, where it will cure for 4–6 weeks.
Cold process soap making is sustainable and rewarding. By making your own, you reduce packaging waste, avoid harsh chemicals, and create a year’s worth of natural, skin-loving soap tailored exactly to your preferences. It’s not just a craft — it’s a lifestyle shift toward conscious, creative living.
Great for a gift for mom or a fun group activity in LA, you'll walk away with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to keep making your own beautiful soaps at home.

  • 5/5 from Todd Bishop, attended Sep 2026: My wife and I took this class together and we had a fantastic time! I'd highyl recommend it and we are alreaedy considering taking it again when our soap supply runs out. Rebecca was an incredible instructor. She's fun and funny and put everyone at ease. The session felt like a fun hang out even though we were doing so serious chemistry, lol. This adventure is great for all skill levels, and you leave with your own soap made from high quality ingredients without synthetics and the harsh chemicals of many store soaps.

Rebeccah (dont know if i spelled that right) was so welcoming and made me feel instantly comfortable and was so knowledgable about the process.

  • 5/5 from Crystal Baranyk, attended May 2026: Soap making with Rebecca is the best. I learned how to make actual wonderfully smooth soap on my own and have a large loaf of soap that I made that I get to keep and do whatever I want with. This class is more in depth than classes that are just soap melts. I learned about the different kind of oils, chemistry and safety involved. Rebecca is funny, and makes complicated instructions easy to follow. I highly recommend her class!
