arrow_right_alt arrow_downwardSpecial Introductory Price of $99 as this is a new class Â
Please note, this is a new class, and as such, it's being offered at a reduced rate. We're in the process of refining and perfecting the experience with every session.ÂWelcome to our hands-on soap making workshop in Redfern, where you'll discover how fun it is to craft your own soap bars from scratch using the cold-process method. In this class, you'll fill a 1kg soap mould shaped like a loaf, which can be cut into 8 luxurious bars of soap.
What makes this class truly special is your creative control. You'll receive a detailed worksheet packed with soap-making insights, including our base recipe. While our base recipe makes a lovely plain soap, the excitement begins when you customise the base recipe with more ingredients, making it truly yours.
Explore our selection of natural clays, exfoliants, dried petals, activated charcoal and fragrance oils. Learn about their unique benefits, empowering you to tailor your soap to suit your skin's needs. You'll build out the base recipe with additional ingredients, based on your preferences.Â
What You'll Learn:
- The basics of cold process soap making
- How to work safely with sodium hydroxide (lye), an essential ingredient, you can't make soap without it!
- Understanding the saponification process and its importance in soap making
- The benefits of superfatting your soap and how to do it
- How to blend fragrance oils together, creating a custom scent
- Learn about the nourishing aspects of each oil and why we use them in our base recipe
- Learn about the unique properties and benefits of various clays, allowing you to customise your soap
- Learn how to blend all of your ingredients together
- An introduction to natural exfoliants and decorative toppings like petals and salts
- Techniques for insulating and curing your soap for the best results
- How to cut your soaps into bars
Your soap will need to cure in its mould for 12-24 hours. For those who wish to take their soap loaf home on the day, we offer the option to purchase the mould for $15. If you choose this option, you can keep your soap in the mould for transport and curing at home. Additionally, if you decide to join us for another soap-making class, you will receive a $15 discount on your next session to refill your mould. Alternatively, if you prefer not to purchase the mould, you are welcome to leave your soap with us to cure, and you can come back to collect your soap at a later date.
IMPORTANT: On the day of the class, we will be using caustic soda, also known as lye, an essential ingredient to make soap. We will teach you how to work safely with this ingredient and the saponification process fully neutralises the lye, so there is no caustic soda in the cured soap.

- If you're purchasing your mould, please bring two tea-towels with you to keep the soap warm and insulated; this is important for the curing process and ensures your soap sets properly.
