2 hours Location Comes to you Class size 4 to 30 guests   $108

Some people say millennials are killing the soap bar, but not in this studio! In this soap-making class in Austin, you will learn how to make your own soap. We love lathering up with a handmade bar of soap and avoiding those plastic bottles whose pumps aren't even recyclable!
In this introduction to soapmaking, Hannah Moore of Moore Soaps will explain the basic chemistry and materials used to make soap from scratch, as well as safety precautions. Under her guidance, you will create cold process soap batter and customize it with scents and botanical elements. You will also have the opportunity to decorate your own soap packaging, using CRAFT's supplies.
Soap needs to cure, so you will be able to cut up your pieces after 24 hours and use the soap after six weeks. Bonus: we'll give you soap to tide you over until yours is ready to use!
What you'll learn
  • Go through the entire soapmaking process.
  • Learn about soapmaking safety and other logistics like where to get supplies for more soapmaking in the future.
  • Receive all the supplies you need to make a pound of soap with your choice of essential oils for scent.
  • Create packaging for your soap, especially fun if you will give your handmade soap as gifts.
  • Learn in a small class with individual support as needed.
Looking for bachelorette or birthday party ideas? This fun craft idea is perfect for beginners looking to unwind with a fun and easy DIY project. You'll even have handmade soap to give out as gift ideas!
What you'll get
  • Everything will be provided, and (to keep costs and environmental impact lower) guests will borrow studio supplies.
  • Your scented soap to take home in decorated packaging (ready to cut up after 24 hours and use after six weeks).
  • Ready to use soap to tide you over until yours is ready!

  • 5/5 from Nicole Lozo, attended May 2026: The soap-making class was so much fun! The instructor was fantastic and did an excellent job explaining each step of the process. Her knowledge, patience, and clear instructions made the experience enjoyable and easy to follow. We learned a lot and left feeling excited to continue exploring soap making on our own.
  • 5/5 from Robin Pratt, attended Mar 2026: I read about the soap making class in Austin magazine and signed up based on description of class from the article. I had made my own soap once before based on videos, but the class was extremely helpful. There were only two students in the class so it was basically a private lesson. The instructor explained everything in detail, watched to make sure we doing everything correctly, answered all our questions and made the class really enjoyable. It went by fast and I left with the soap I made. I'll be able to use the soap in a few weeks after it cures and have the recipe to make more.
