Discover how easy it is to make your own soap in this introductory soap making workshop. Sonia will share her gentle and non-drying soap that contains shea butter, coconut oil and olive oil. Learn about the soap making process and how you can develop and adapt it to suit your needs and become confident in making your own soap at home. You’ll go home with a bar of soap to cure and sample.
