Curious about crafting your own luxurious, fragrant soaps? Maybe you’ve wondered what goes on behind the scenes in a soap making class at Robert Kline Art. Well, you’re in the right place! Today, I’m throwing open the studio doors to give you a sneak peek into the exciting world of soap making.
Demystifying the Soap Making Workshop Experience
I often get asked a bunch of questions about my workshops, from “Can I come alone?” (absolutely!) to “Will I be able to make soap at home afterwards?” (definitely!). So, I figured, why not answer them all in one place?
Small Classes, Big Creativity
My workshops are intentionally small, usually capped at 6 people, although I’m currently limiting it to 4 for ample social distancing. This intimate setting allows me to dedicate personalized attention to each student. Plus, it fosters a fun, interactive atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable asking questions.
More Than Just a Recipe
We don’t just jump into mixing ingredients. Oh no, my friend, there’s so much more to it! I believe in empowering you with knowledge. We’ll cover everything from understanding different oils and butters (and how they affect your soap) to the science behind saponification (don’t worry, I promise to make it interesting!). By the end of the workshop, you’ll be well-versed in the art of soap making.
Hands-On Fun With Colors, Scents, and Designs
Hand Made Soap
Now, for the fun part! We’ll dive into a world of colors, scents, and designs, where you’ll get to personalize your soaps to your heart’s content. This is always a highlight for my students – who knew choosing from so many delightful options could be so challenging (and fun!)?
Curing Your Creations and Continued Support
After the thrill of making your soap comes the patience of waiting for it to cure (about 4 weeks). But don’t worry, you’ll leave with detailed instructions and access to my supportive Facebook group where you can ask questions, share your creations, and connect with fellow soap makers.
So, Are You Ready to Embark on Your Soap Making Journey?
Whether you’re a complete newbie or have dabbled in soap making before, my workshops offer a supportive and enriching environment to learn, experiment, and create your own beautiful, handcrafted soaps. Remember, everyone starts somewhere, and who knows, you might just discover a hidden talent!
