NB!

Soap making involves using some costly materials we therefore suggest a contribution of around 25 euros towards the costs of this creative retreat.

Please note that soap making using the cold process takes a long time. The soap can only be cut or taken out of the moulds after two days or so and needs to cure for a month afterwards. This means that you will have to come back to cut the soap on Saturday, if you are unable to do so we can unmould and cut the soap for you and you can pick your soap up when convenient. However, the soap will need to cure and won’t be ready for use till at least one month after making it.

The melt and pour soap will be ready to take home on the day of the retreat.
