Discover how to make beautiful, natural soap in this beginner-friendly soap making workshop. This is a wonderful activity for anyone new to soap making, where you will learn to create your own artisan soaps using the traditional cold process method. It's a fun and hands-on workshop with plenty of opportunities to experiment with lovely natural ingredients.
You will use a blend of natural butters, fats and oils, alongside pure essential oils and botanicals to create a soap that is personal to you. You'll get to choose your own unique combination of fragrance, colour and decoration.

This class will give you a new appreciation for the craft of soap making, and you’ll go home with your own handmade creations to enjoy.

  • 5/5 from Annemarie Holding, attended Aug 2026: We were a group of 5, made up of 3 generations of family members aged between 12- 75. We all really enjoyed this soap making course emensely. The instructor was lovely and the set up in her studio was fabulous. She was very attentive and knowledgeable. I wish i could give her more than 5 stars. I would highly recommend it. On an side note the high tea with sandwiches and cakes that was provided was amazing. The scones as promised did not dissapoint, they were super tasty.
