Handmade Soap & Salve workshops
Soap and Salve making workshops!
As the days grow shorter and colder, it’s the perfect time to gather and make something with our hands. These workshops are all about creating beautiful, useful things. Learning simple, traditional skills and as a result ending up with homemade products.
We’ll be making cold-pressed soap and herbal salves, using only natural and organic ingredients. Everything you make will be something you can truly use or give away, handmade gifts just in time for Christmas!

About the Soap Making Workshop
Cold-pressed soap is not only fun to make, it’s also gentle and nourishing for the skin. Unlike many store-bought soaps, it doesn’t dry out your skin but helps keep it soft and moisturized.
We’ll be working with all-natural ingredients, following one base recipe together. Then you’ll make it your own by adding natural color, scent, and decoration, as in, dried flowers, salts, and herbs.
We use sodium hydroxide (lye) to transform oils into real soap, a completely natural and biodegradable compound. It needs to be handled with care, but don’t worry: we’ll go step by step safely and confidently. Once the process is complete, no lye remains, only pure, beautiful soap.
At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home 1 kg of your own handmade soap, which will be ready to use in about 4 weeks. Just in time for Christmas! 🎄

About the Salve Making Workshop
An herbal salve is one of the most versatile and beloved remedies in any home apothecary. These soothing balms can be used for dry or cracked skin, heels, lips, eczema, or baby care. They’re also great for protecting skin from cold winter winds, warming up tired feet, or even as a gentle chest balm for colds.
During the workshop, you’ll learn about which herbs and essential oils to use so you can create a salve that suits your needs and intentions. We’ll all follow the same base recipe, but there will be plenty of room for creative freedom in your herbal infusions and scent blends. With guidance and support to help you choose what’s best for you.
We’ll be working with herbs, oils, beeswax, and essential oils, creating completely natural and nourishing salves.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll take home five 60 ml salves, poured into beautiful brown apothecary glass jars. That’s enough to treat yourself and to have handmade Christmas gifts. 🎁
