About this Event

Create your own set of Hand-made Soap bars.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

Join Dotty by Design for a creative evening making your own set of hand-made soaps.

Enjoy a crafty and sociable class, learning how to make a choice of Shea Butter and Aloe-Vera Soaps, finding out about the beauty benefits of the natural ingredients and essential oils that you'll add to your individual soap bars and design.


Dotty will show you step-by-step how to add natural colours and aromas to your soap mixture, combining ingredients with Shea butter and Aloe-vera Soap bases before adding exfoliants and petals for that finishing touch! You will select your own flavours and aromas designing your own set of four soap bars.

Shea butter has been used for centuries for a reason, to soften the skin and make a gentle soap. This class uses only the very best Soap bases from Shea Butter to Clear Aloe. So prepare to learn the cooking techniques, how to prepare a soap base and how to heat and monitor temperatures.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS WORKSHOP?

Choose from a selection of 12 natural colourants and experiment with marbling and layering colour. You will be selecting from 10 or more essential oils to fragrance the soap, as well as herbs and flowers that add to the dermatological properties in the bar.

As for shape it doesn’t have to be round, square or oblong, in this class you can pretty much select any style you fancy from Dotty's extensive collection of soap bar moulds.

We will provide all the kit needed for this workshop. The class lasts approx. 90 mins in Kensal Green (a couple of stops from Paddington) or Kensal Rise.

"A lovely relaxed afternoon, Claire was a great teacher and guide. Christmas stocking fillets sorted!" Rachel

"The soap-making workshop was such a joy to attend; the environment was cozy and there was tons to learn. It was one of the highlights of my stay in London. The guidance Dotty gave felt just right, letting us explore while also helping us when we needed it. Her passion shows through her work and her workshop, and I’m so glad we got a keepsake from this wonderful event. It was worth every penny and I’ll be going back for more. Thank you!" Bassel

"Really enjoyed my time, the best soap making event! All the ingredients were natural. The teacher was very helpful and patient. Thank you." Rita

"I bought this workshop as a birthday present for a friend and it was such a fun afternoon. Claire was very helpful with telling us all we needed to know to make our own soaps. A great gift (where you end up with more gifts to give away!)." Georgia
