About this Event

Are you wondering how natural soap is made? Join me at the Dark Matter Alchemy Soap-making workshop to find out!
In this immersive soap-making session, you’ll explore the art of creating luxurious, dark-themed soaps using nature-inspired ingredients with a twist of dark magic. You’ll be invited to playfully experiment with textures, colors, and scents while embracing the witchy craft of soap-making, using enchanted powders and mystical ingredients like “Dark Matter" , “Frog Legs” or “Tears of Virgins.” Complete the experience with a drink of “Fresh Witches’ Blood” to sip on!
Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a curious beginner, this workshop promises a captivating blend of art, fun, and a touch of Halloween vibes. Under the guidance of experienced soap-maker and artist Valeriia, you’ll learn the alchemy of blending plant oils and butters, colours, scents and other ingredients to craft a unique soap with your personal story in mind.

The soaps you will create will be plant-based and vegan-friendly. You’ll create 6 full bars of natural soaps to keep and enjoy!

This is a cold process soap-making workshop and we will work with raw ingredients such plant oils and butters and use lye for saponification. There will be NO melt&pour soap bases, we will make all soaps from scratch in a traditional way.

During workshop Valeriia will handle lye herself, if you have any concerns you may find it beneficial to research this step in advance. Long sleeves and leg/feet cover will be a reasonable safety measures, the rest will be provided.

We will use many plant-based and food grade ingredients that are generally considered to be safe, but if you have any food allergies please let us know in prior. We will not use any nuts or nut oils, however we will use shea and coconut. We also do not use any glutenous ingredients in our soaps, but our studio may be exposed to gluten time to time.

Our scents are of a high quality and do not contain any known harsh chemicals, although you can skip this step and choose to stay scent-free.

For safety reasons, please make sure you will be wearing long sleeves and cover your legs and foot. All materials and tools will be provided, just bring your creativity and get ready for soapy fun!

For accessibility, allergies or other questions, please, don't hesitate to contact Valeriia.
