This is a special one-of-a-kind workshop. I have received many requests for a soap and candle making workshop. Combining the Aromatherpay Soy Candles and the Beeswax Candlemaking will be extra beneficial as you can use the knowledge from both classes to intertwine with your candle making. An example of this would be to know how to make aromatherpay beeswax candles.
NATURAL HANDMADE SOAP: COLD PROCESS SOAP MAKING
with Joan Morais
Cold Process Soap is the traditional way that soap has been made for many years. Soap is fun and easy to make, especially after taking a class that shows you how. More and more people are going back to using handmade bars of soap. They are mild and moisturizing to the skin and very little packaging (if any) is used and this makes soap even more
eco-friendly.
This class teaches the basics of soap making. I will demonstrate how to make an All-Natural Herbal Soap with a basic and full proof soap recipe. You will go home with a small mold of the soap we make in class. This allows you to watch the soap evolve, unmold it, cure it and see how the soap turns out. You will also receive a handmade bar of soap to use now and the just published 34 page manual, HOW TO MAKE HANDMADE SOAP by Joan Morais.
You will learn:
~ how to make all-natural handmade soap
~ how to scent naturally with essential oils
~ how to color naturally with herbs
~ oils used in soap making
~ how to work with sodium hydroxide
~ how to use a lye calculator
~ supplies needed to make soap and where to purchase them
~ molds for soap making
~ cutting and curing your soap
~ special helpful tips when making soap
~ packaging soap
Take with you: a bar of herbal soap packaged by you, a bar of soap in a mold of the one made in class and the 34 page manual HOW TO MAKE HANDMADE SOAP.

Aromatherapy Soy Candles are good for the environment because they burn clean. They also burn longer than other candle waxes. 100% Vegetable Wax Candles, made with American grown, biodegradable and renewable soybean wax. Soy Candles help support American Farmers. 100% Natural Essential Oil Candles are made with pure essential oils that add a therapeutic effect.

Votive Soy Candles are made with a firmer soy wax. Learn how to color votives with candle dyes and natural colorants so you can have the option to create a totaly natural candle containing no parrafin or artificial dyes. The votives in this photo are naturally colored with plants. Select your own color and essential oils for your votive.
Aroma Soy Melts are used in a candle burner. A candle burner can be electric or warmed with a tea candle. Many people have these in their homes. The aroma melts we make are made with soy wax, essential oils, fruit aromas and herbs(no fragrance oils). They are perfect for scenting your home or office and they make great gifts to give along with a candle burner.
