Natural Soap Making

About This Workshop

Goat milk soap has been used for centuries — and once you understand the chemistry, it makes complete sense. In this 2.5-hour class, you'll learn the cold-process method from scratch using milk from our own goats. We cover lye safety, formulating a recipe, adding natural colorants and botanicals, and the curing process.

You'll leave with a full batch of soap bars to cure at home. In 4–6 weeks, you'll have beautiful, functional soap you made yourself.
