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.
