On this one-day, hands-on workshop with Jenny Smith from The Scottish Soapworks, you will cover the soap-making methods in detail including: ingredients; suppliers; equipment; safety issues; recipes and essential oils.
On completion of the course, you will have a pack of information including details of suppliers, legislation on creating recipes, and practical hints and tips.
Our business workshops are arranged at a time to suit, so please contact us to arrange a date and to discuss any questions you may have. You can book one extra person from the same business to join you for a discounted price of £300 for the second space.
The contents of the day are flexible, and there is a choice about which products to make which can include cold process soap, organic glycerine 'melt and pour' soap, shampoo bars, liquid soap and other skincare products such as hand/body cream and lip balms.
There is also the option to book a two or three day course so that you are able to cover making more products, and/or add time to discuss creating a new brand or identity if your are planning to start a new business.
The price includes all materials, access to all the equipment you will need, refreshments, lunch and a set of handouts covering the products you have made.
Please note that The Arienas Collective experiences are run from a first-floor space and unfortunately we do not have lift access.
