Create with Dad: Botanical Soapmaking Workshop

Celebrate Father's Day with a unique hands-on experience rooted in creativity, wellness, and connection. Whether you're attending with your father, son, daughter, family member, mentor, or simply honoring the spirit of fatherhood, this special workshop offers an opportunity to create lasting memories while learning the art of botanical soapmaking.

In this immersive, beginner-friendly class, you'll learn the fundamentals of cold process soapmaking while working with herbal-infused oils, botanicals, natural colorants, clays, and essential oils to craft your own handcrafted soaps.

Guided by the From Seed, Soil to Skin™ philosophy, participants will explore the connection between plants, wellness, and traditional soapmaking while creating approximately six bars of soap to take home.

All materials are provided and each participant will receive guided instruction, a printed workbook, and their handcrafted soap creations.

No experience necessary. Ages 13 and older are welcome. Participants ages 13–17 must attend with a registered parent, guardian, or responsible adult who is also participating in the workshop.

Space is limited to ensure a personalized experience.
