The advantage of making your own soaps is that you control what goes in them, which is one of the reasons why handmade soaps are so much better. In this advanced workshop, you will learn how to improve the quality of your soap and how to colour your soap using only natural ingredients. We will also discuss the benefits and properties of herbs, plants, clays and other natural additives, how to use and prepare them, and how to add them to your soaps. 

Course fee includes all ingredients, detailed notes and a practical session. Each participant will go home with their own handmade herbal soap.

Note: This is an advanced workshop. Participants need to have either done the basic cold pressed soap making workshop, or have experience in the cold pressed soap making technique.

Please bring a tea towel and a mixing bowl or 2L ice cream container. You may also bring your own soap moulds to use in the practical session. Both loaf moulds and cavity moulds are suitable.
