Autumn Cold Process Soapmaking

Sunday, September 27 • 11:00am - 1:30pm
$50 per person • Ages 12+ • Maximum 8 participants
The Fay Farm Soap Shop • Quilcene, WA

Ever wonder what actually goes into making a bar of real soap?

Come into the soap shop and find out!

In this hands-on workshop, we'll explore the traditional cold process soapmaking method and the fascinating chemistry that transforms oils and lye into soap.

We'll cover soapmaking oils, lye safety, trace, natural colorants, essential oils, pouring and curing.

Then it's your turn to make soap.

You'll make:

Approximately 1¼ pounds of your own plant-based cold process soap.

Choose your botanical color and essential-oil blend, then have some fun with our collection of fall and seasonal soap molds.

Leaves? Pumpkins? Something completely different?

Choose the shapes you love and fill your favorites until your soap batter is gone.

Depending on the molds you choose, you'll end up with an assortment of individual handmade soaps to keep, share or give as gifts.

What happens to my soap after class?

Fresh cold process soap needs a little time before it can be removed from its molds.

Your soaps will stay with us at The Fay Farm until they're firm enough to unmold. You'll return to the shop to pick them up, along with instructions for completing the curing process at home.

This workshop is open to ages 12 and up.

For participants under age 18, the sodium hydroxide solution will be prepared by the instructor. All participants will receive soapmaking safety instruction and use appropriate safety equipment during class.
