Slow down and get hands-on with natural body care in this cozy, sensory-rich soap-making workshop. Using a simple melt-and-pour method, you’ll create your own custom soap and fizzing bath salts while learning about ingredients, scent blending, and the joy of making things at your own pace.

This event is beginner-friendly and low-pressure. Perfect for curious first-timers, crafty folks, and anyone who enjoys slow, tactile activities. No prior experience needed.

You’ll be guided step-by-step through making melt-and-pour soap using a microwave, choosing your own scents and optional botanicals/additives. While the soap sets, you’ll also create fizzing bath salts (a deconstructed bath bomb). The process is intentionally slow and gentle, with waiting time built in – this is a practice in patience, presence, and enjoying the process rather than rushing the outcome.

Location / setting

Held on the ground floor of Ralph Connor Church in a relaxed indoor space. Seated at tables with shared materials, good lighting, and a cozy workshop atmosphere.

What’s included

All materials and instruction
Soap base, scents, botanicals, and additives
Ingredients for fizzing bath salts
Take-home soap and bath salts

Accessibility notes

Seated activity with minimal physical demand. Please note there will be strong scents and essential oils present. Let the staff know if you have scent sensitivities and they’ll do our best to accommodate. This is a slow-paced workshop with waiting periods between steps.
