Soap Making

Using a variety of methods and ingredients to make natural glycerin soaps

Our hands-on workshop covers each step of traditional soap making using the hot, cooked method, beginning with rendering beef fat into fresh, pure tallow and then mixing, cooking and scenting a batch of natural glycerin soap. We also make two different batches of cold process soap—a goat’s milk recipe and an all-vegetable-oil soap—and we teach you how to add other natural ingredients such as oatmeal and herbs to your basic soap recipes.
