Let's Make 40 Bars of Soap 🧼 for Holiday Gifts
Have you watched a gazillion soapmaking, but there is still no soapmaking going on at your house? 🏡
Does the thought of deciding what ingredients to order make your head spin? 😵
Perhaps you've tried making soap before, but it was a sudsy disaster? 🤦♀️
Want to feel confident making soap on your own, but have a proven recipe with detailed instructions? 📃
Did you make soap in a former life & want to get back into it with inspiration & support from other makers? ✨
Would you like to ask a soap expert your burning questions? 🙋♂️
Think your friends & family would appreciate receiving your handmade soap this holiday season? 🎅
If you said YES to any of the above, join LORI for a unique soapmaking experience! With a 6-week cure time, this November weekend is our last chance to make CP Soap that's ready to use by Xmas. 🎄
Handmade Soap is Wonderful to Give & Receive
💝 SHARE YOUR GIFTS
Handmade Soap makes the BEST gift any time of year, but especially at the holidays! Everyone needs soap, and cold process (CP) soap makes a practical, eco-friendly, & beautiful gift. It's the best soap money can buy! Whether you want to make soap for for gifts, to donate to those in need, or just for your family the knowledge gained from this virtual soapmaking weekend will last a lifetime.
👩🏽🤝👩🏻 GET SUPPORT & HAVE FUN
In addition to 5 hours of LIVE access to Lori's expertise & support in the Zoom sessions, you'll also get inspiration & motivation from other soapers! Regardless of skill level, it's fun to learn with others. Hundreds of soapers have connected through our classes this weekend could result in a lifelong soap friend!
💡 GAIN EXPERIENCE & KNOWLEDGE
Whether you're a soap newbie or an intermediate soaper, by the end of this soap weekend, you'll have more experience making soap & more knowledge overall! Another benefit of a group is seeing & hearing about what others are making. You'll also learn from their challenges & questions too.
💪 BUILD CONFIDENCE
Often, all it takes is one successful batch under your belt to feel confident branching out. Starting with a trusted CP soap recipe & having success gives you the courage to get more experimental with future batches. Past students, who now have soap businesses, use this same recipe (just varying scents & colors). The beauty of making soap is that YOU get to decide what to put into your soap.
💻 GET UNLIMITED ACCESS
After this soap weekend is over, you retain unlimited access to the all printable Class Handouts, all Soapmaking Demo Videos, plus all Zoom Video Recordings (in case you miss any of the sessions below). Handouts can be downloaded, saved, & printed. Videos can be watched 24/7 with an internet connection.
Group Zoom Sessions - Live with Lori
Get LIVE access to Lori to ask questions & learn for 5 hours! During the days/times below, Lori will be available on ZOOM to answer questions, and offer guidance & support. Friday will be a prep hour with Q+A to make sure everyone is ready to go. Saturday, Lori will make a batch live on Zoom, and do Q+A. Sunday, Lori will unmold her soap and do more Q+A. You will make YOUR batches of CP soap any time that's convenient to you (we suggest on Saturday or Sunday, before the final Zoom session). If you plan your soapmaking sessions well, you can get your questions answered BEFORE you make soap, and AFTER, on Sunday. During Q+A we can troubleshoot any issues & even brag a bit about your beautiful soap. For anyone who can't make the live sessions, replays will be available within 1 week of the class.
Here's The Schedule:
11/11/22, Friday: 5-6pm PT (8-9pm ET) - Let's Prep/Get Ready, with Q+A
11/12/22, Saturday: 12-2pm PT (3-5pm ET) - Lori's Live Soapmaking Demo
11/13/22, Sunday: 12-2pm PT (3-5pm ET) - More Q+A & Troubleshooting
Make YOUR soap any convenient time (between Friday & Sunday sessions is best)!
In order to make 40 soaps (to use up the 8 lbs of optional oil blend), you'll make 2 batches just like Lori does in the pre-recorded demo videos. If you don't give away all the soap for the holidays, you'll have soap that's good all year long! 📦
START EASILY - WITH OILS & LYE
We partnered with NURTURE SOAP in Indiana to make getting started as easy as possible! You have the option to INCLUDE with your class registration the 2 main soapmaking components: 8 pounds of Soapmaking Oil Blend (click to see ingredients & check for allergies) AND 2 pounds of Sodium Hydroxide (Lye). Make sure your shipping address when you checkout with us is correct because within a few days of signing up, these necessary soap supplies will be heading your way! (Note: Due to shipping regulations on lye, these supplies can only be shipped to the contiguous 48 US states.)
With these ingredients, you can make 40 full-size bars of high-quality soap!
Using an oil blend simplifies the entire process of making soap from scratch. To make unscented & uncolored soap (ideal for sensitive skin), the only other ingredient you'll need to buy is a gallon of distilled water.
To help you prepare, you'll receive two handy checklists as part of the NEW 18-page Class Handout:
Ingredient Checklist (with hyperlinks)
Equipment & Supply Checklist (with hyperlinks)
Everyone will need to gather some supplies that are easily obtained at a local superstore or online (the checklists have recommendations/links). If you want to make scented and/or colored soap, or use a specialty mold, you can place an additional order on your own with Nurture Soap (checklist has specific recommendations/links). Everyone will get a 1-time use code for 10% off too!
Upon registration, get INSTANT access to: 4+ hours of soapmaking demo videos (two batches - a classic Lavender & a more complex Comfort & Joy). In BOTH batches, Lori uses Nurture Soap's Oil Blend. So, if you're ready to go, you can start watching/learning before our soap weekend! You'll also get immediate access to the UPDATED 18-page printable Class Handout, specifically geared towards using this particular oil blend.
✨ BONUS GIFT ✨
Once you're comfortable making a one-color soap, and have at least one successful batch under your belt, it's fun to try techniques using multiple colors. So, we've added a bonus gift of my Coloring Soap with Confidence eBook. This 2-part digital download has printable handouts & a coordinated slide show. Learn about all the color choices available to you as a soapmaker & see the results of all my testing. With this info, you'll be creating colorful, eye-catching soaps in no time.
If you're new to soapmaking OR want to get back into soaping, this guided & supportive experience will get you MAKING CP SOAP this November!
Join us for this informative, interactive, soapportunity get help & inspiration, all from the comfort of home! 😁
