Soapmaking Workshop in Southend with Bean and Boy: learn how to make cold process natural soap
24th February 2018 @ 10:15 am - 2:00 pm
Learn how to make traditional cold process soap with Stacey from award-winning soap company Bean & Boy in this half day soapmaking workshop.
We’re passionate about traditional crafts, and we’re reviving the art of cold process soapmaking in this fun workshop that covers the basics of oils and butters, proper safety, working with lye, choosing essential oils and botanicals, making soap at home, getting creative with swirls and techniques, and of course – soapmaking!
We don’t use artificial ingredients to scent or colour our soaps, so you’ll get creative with clays, botanicals and essential oils. In this half day workshop you will make two soap recipes, you’ll work with your chosen scents and designs, and you’ll take home plenty of info and experience to get you started on your soapmaking journey. You’ll also take home a selection of soaps from the day, some recipes, and a good understanding of the science behind soapmaking.
We keep our soapmaking workshops small so that you have fun, make friends and can ask plenty of questions while you get hands-on experience. That does mean that spaces are limited; if you miss out, please email hello@beanandboy.com to join the waiting list in case of cancellations, or keep a look out for more dates which are added regularly.
Tea, Coffee & Cake will be provided (Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-Free etc. on request).
