Soap making
Handmade soap is long-lasting, moisturising, and creates heaps of creamy bubbles!
In this three-hour workshop, you’ll learn the chemical process used to create soap, find out how to safely use and store caustic soda (also known as lye), work with coconut, olive and other oils, choose essential oils, botanicals and other natural additives, plus learn to mould, cure and care for your soap.
We’ll split into three small groups then select recipes to make 5-6 bars of soap per person, plus take home our special planet-friendly ‘base’ recipe and supplier details so you can make more bars at home!
Please note that your soap will be ready to take home after class, but will need to cure for 3-4 weeks before using.

Soya teacup candle
Make your own beautifully scented candle using eco-friendly soya wax, natural essential oils, and a vintage china teacup set.
You’ll learn about essential oils to create a blend of your choice, then fashion your own container candle. All materials provided (including teacups and saucers) or bring a favourite cup or other container to fill. You’ll also away a resource list so you can make more candles at home!
Note: As the molten wax needs time to solidify, enjoy a drink or a spot of shopping on nearby Upper Street while your candle cools, or come pick up another day. Alternately, we can post it to you for £6 to cover the cost of postage and packing materials.
