Design Your Own Suds
Have you ever wanted to make your own soap but felt hesitant about working with lye? Melt & Pour soap making offers a simple, approachable way to create beautiful, handcrafted soaps-without handling lye yourself.
In a time when many people are paying closer attention to the products they use every day, this workshop offers a practical introduction to making soap with greater awareness of ingredients, fragrance choices, and personal preferences. It’s also a chance to slow down, be creative, and enjoy the satisfaction of making something useful with your own hands.
