Join us for a hands-on evening at Bee Joyful Shop as we continue our Self-Care Social Club series.
On Wednesday, March 11, from 6:30–8:30 PM, you’re invited to learn the art of traditional cold process soap making, the way soap was made when quality mattered and ingredients were chosen with care.
This is not a melt-and-pour class. This is the real thing. Cold process soap is made from scratch using oils, lye, and intention, creating a bar of soap that’s nourishing, gentle, and truly good for your skin.
This in-depth class is designed for anyone who wants to understand how soap is actually made. You’ll learn the full cold process method and create your own bars using essential oils, herbs, florals, and natural colorants. We’ll talk through why each ingredient matters, how soap works, and why this traditional method has stood the test of time.
Because this is a detailed, hands-on class, space is limited to keep the experience personal and educational.
Expect:
• Step-by-step instruction in traditional cold process soap making
• Your own handmade soap bars to take home
• All materials provided
• A warm, welcoming, old-school learning atmosphere
This class will fill quickly, so be sure to reserve your spot early. Once it’s full, registration will close.
Come ready to learn, create, and carry on a craft that’s been trusted for generations.
