Blim and Blim Special Guest Workshop present:
Blim Guest Series—Introduction to cold process soap making
Saturday May 29 | 2 – 5 PM | $60 (incl. materials)
Featuring: Roberta Wover
This class will cover the following while Roberta demonstrates how to make soap the old fashioned fight club way.
- Brief history and basic chemistry of soap making
- Necessary materials, supplies and equipment
- Safety considerations when working with sodium hydroxide
- Taking accurate measurements & proper mixing temperatures
- Coloring soap naturally with herbs, spices & clays
- Using pure essential oils to scent your soap naturally
- Preparing your molds and molding options
- Insulating, cutting, curing and storing your finished soap
Due to the nature of making soap from scratch, this class is mainly demonstration style but students will also have the opportunity to create their own sample bars during the class. You’ll leave with very thorough handouts and enough information to make vegetable-based natural herbal soap from scratch on your own. This class uses only vegan / vegetarian ingredients.
Roberta Wover made her first bar of soap on a dare, won the bet and realized soon afterwards she was a natural. Over the past 5 years she has perfected her hobby as she realized that soapmaking is harmony between art and science and the perfect medium to
express her creativity. An award winning pharmacologist who combines her scientific expertise with an obsession for the scents of flowers and the healing properties of plants, Roberta sells her soaps at BLIM’s monthly community markets through her company, RIPE.
