Looking for a gift making course that could translate into business idea?

Or simply to pamper yourself?

Most beginner level melt and pour soap workshops merely cover colouring and scenting of soap bases. Here at Go Create we’ve created an extreme version: to push melt and pour to its limits. We’ll cover melt and pour from all angles to ensure you have a good understanding of how to exploit melt and pour to its potential.  During the workshop you’ll make at least 6 soap samples. But be warned, some may look and smell too good to use.

Our fun 1 day soap making is suitable for absolute beginners who wish to be impressed. During this beginner level workshop we’ll explain traditional soap making processes and how this relates to melt and pour bases. In this particular workshop we’ll focus on layering and embedding techniques to create a range of creative soaps using and exploiting melt and pour soap bases.

What we’ll cover:

• Understanding soap base types and labelling
• Basic methods for melting and pouring soap base into moulds
• Materials and equipment needed
• Health and Safety
• How to add scent and colour
• Embedding objects or soap pieces
• How to de-mould
• Cutting and wrapping soap pieces
• Layering soap bases
• Trouble shooting
• Packaging ideas

Take home:
The soap making method being used does not involve the use of harsh chemicals and doesn’t require curing and therefore any soaps that you make on the day can be used immediately. Expect to take home at least a half dozen soaps.

What’s included

Materials plus light refreshments.

What to wear
