In this soap molding & design workshop for beginners, you will learn how to creatively shape a variety of soap creations with natural ingredients and fragrances.

Soap molding is like any hobby - you can spend a fortune on it. However, in this 1-day private workshop (4 hours) professional soap maker Nada will show you how to get started using regular kitchen equipment, premade soap and inexpensive ingredients that you can get in your local supermarket and health food store.

You will have hands-on practice from choosing, mixing and coloring the right ingredients, to molding the soap in different shapes, and finally packaging your soap creatively. You will be guided throughout the process in an interactive session where you can freely ask questions while getting the chance to make your first pieces of soap.
