I made my made my first Soap from scratch with a kit 20 years ago and was hooked from that first batch. This process captures the Artist and the Scientist and combines both in the wonderful world of soapmaking. If you love scents and colors and being crafty have we got the class for you. Come and play and get hooked!
Description
ANNOUNCING I am now doing in-person soap classes. I have been fully vaccinated and feel confident in doing individual or couple classes with two people. You will be asked to be masked as we will be working closer than normal social distance. This is for your benefit and mine.
But I am excited about this opportunity. I am starting in June and am ready to learn to make soap and have a new creative passion!
The options below are for that particular month, and you can pay for the class below. Before you opt for a month, please contact me via this site on the contact page or on my phone at 336-403-1662 to schedule a particular date. I am retired so we could do classes during the week as well as the weekend.
Thank you for your patience with all of this, as I look forward to inspiring you all to learn to create soap.
When was the last you were inspired to create something?
How about coming to my house and spend learning a new craft? I welcome you into my space, and I will teach you about the process of making soap from scratch.
We will play with luscious oils and butters and, of course, colors and scents. We will use Essential Oils and Herbal Powders, and Clays.
You will leave with your creation of a 2lb batch of soap that you have scented and designed yourself. There will also be lots of handouts.
Each class runs from 11 AM to about 3 PM, and you can bring snacks or a brown bag lunch. There will be a short demo and lots of information shared before your deep dive into making your own batch of soap from scratch.
We will review various soap ingredients, including oils and butters for great soap, natural colorants and additives, essential oils for scent, and most importantly, lye safety. We will also go over making your own recipes.
Each student will receive a pack of handouts with recipes, ingredients, soapmaking instructions, and resources for soap supplies.
The fee includes class, handouts, and supplies. Please call 336-403-1662 with any questions.

I became interested in Soap making earlier this year. I watched ALOT of youtube videos but did not feel comfortable stepping out on my own. I researched a lot of classes and this one fit my needs to a T!
If you are looking for a class to teach the basics of Soapmaking this is it. I left with a loaf of soap and the skills needed to make my own. My next two batches of home made soap came from a kit that I ordered from Essential Depot. The skills I learned in this class helped me become confident and I found the soap very easy to make. In only a few months, I am creating my own recipes.
I would highly recommend this class.

After lots of curiosity, online research, and YouTube videos about soapmaking I was curious but wanted someone with more experience to help guide me, particularly around lye safety. I was happy to find this class and brought a friend with me as we were coming in from the Triangle. The class was cozy, comfortable, and an easy environment to ask questions and get used to making cold process soap. Marilyn is kind, generous with her knowledge, and we had a lot of fun with this class! A year later I’m making soap every month and loving my new hobby. If you’re also curious about cold process I would recommend taking this as a starter class. Thank you, Marilyn!
