Want to learn how to make soap? This class will cover the basics for how to make cold processed soap and how to design your own recipes. We will go through the process, go through resources, answer questions along the way, make a batch of soap, and cut soap. I make my soap with rendered animal fat and good quality vegetable oils. We will talk about how to render your own animal fat (pork lard, beef tallow, etc.) like soap has been made for hundreds of years. I will talk about making soap from just vegetable oils as well. It should be really fun! You will go home empowered to make your first batch.
