Make your own batch of cold process soap in this 2.5-hour, hands-on, in-person immersive soapmaking workshop in the Upper West Side taught by master soapmaker, Marla Bosworth. Students will learn how to use plants and other organic, natural ingredients to make soap from scratch using the cold process method. Each student will design and create their own batch of soap to take home (which equates to eight bars when cut).
What in nature inspires you? What can you share through a beautifully designed botanical soap to inspire others? It might be locally grown produce or honey from the farmer's market, wildcrafted elements from a nature hike or water from a river or stream. This is just a sampling from where we can source our inspiration.
What makes this class special? With Marla's guidance, you will create your very own batch of soap by selecting botanicals , colorants and making very own essential oil blend. Marla is keeping this class small to work side-by-side with you. You'll also have the pleasure of meeting other interesting and likeminded people.
Student will receive hands-on experience, an information-packed class handout with instructions, recipes and valuable supplier list and of course get to take home a custom batch.

Students express high praise for the Organic Cold Process Soap Making Intensive Workshop. They discuss not only the fun they had taking the class but also the wealth of knowledge they gained both from the instructors and the hands-on experience. They acquired practical skills such as learning how to make a legitimate batch of quality soap, comprehending the safety standards when working with lye, understanding how to properly use and clean equipment, and familiarizing themselves with different types of essential oils. Most importantly, they were able to easily apply what they learned at home. After completing the course, students felt confident in their newfound knowledge and skills and were inspired to continue making more soap at home. 1. "Marla and Kay provided us with everything to make a legitimate batch of quality soap, along with instructions to easily duplicate the process at home." 2. "They guided us through the safety standards when working lye, the safety of equipment and its proper use, the different types of oils needed, and how to clean and store your area once you complete your project." 3. "You will totally leave there with real knowledge that will bridge the gap between online (YouTube), and books, and inspire you to make more soap at home!"
