This workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn time-tested techniques in crafting natural, handmade soap, just like the Shakers did. Participants will explore the history and benefits of hot process soap making, learn about various oils and additives, and create their own batch of soap to take home. Perfect for beginners and seasoned soap makers alike, this class provides practical skills and a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship. All materials will be provided.

Soup and beverage will be provided.
