For two (2) months, which started 8th of June 2013 until 8th of August,  we had series of Soap Making Workshops.

2.  Hot Process Bar Soap Making
3.  All Natural Liquid Soap Making (using 65% to 80% Extra Virgin Olive Oil, what we all know as Castile Soap)
          a.  Creating a liquid recipe using Summer Bee Meadows Lye Calculator
          b.  Actual liquid Soap Making/cooking on crock pot
          c.  Clarity Testing of the cooked soap paste
          d.  Liquid Soap Paste Dillution
          e.  Adding Natural Preservatives
          g.  Fragrancing {2 (two) methods}
          h.  Thickening
           I.  Tinting or Coloring
4.  Basic Artisan Soaps, Working with Soap Colourants, Layering and Swirling

We also tackled about soap packaging, soap stamping and many other things.

Each one had the chance to make their own natural hand crafted soaps, it was a very tiring 1st Workshop day but, you can see people smiling despite all.
