Soap workshop announced

June 27, 2009

A date is picked and a venue booked for my first soapmaking workshop. Wanna come?

Basic details: Date: Thursday July 23, 2009 Time: 6:30-8:30pm Location: St. Mary's Nutrition Center, 208 Bates Street, Lewiston, ME Cost: $7.50 per person, pre-paid registration

More details: At this workshop you will learn how to make soap from very basic ingredients, most of which you can buy at the grocery store. I will demonstrate the whole process and answer questions as I am able to do so (I've been making soap for 3 years).

Because the soap making process requires a certain amount of "waiting time" I will also teach participants how to make body lotion, once again with easily found ingredients.

What's up with the fee (since I usually share my knowledge freely)? The cost covers the facility rental fee and the supplies. Additionally each participant will go home with a bar of my homemade soap and a small bit of lotion.

Here's the deal though, participants must pre-pay for their registration and the workshop will only run if I have 10 paid participants by Monday, July 13th. I can't cover my costs and it's not worth my time for any less participants than that.

I want as many people to come to this as would like to though so there is a discount for families. More details when you e-mail to register.

To recap: Learn to make soap & lotion, get a bar of soap & have fun. July 23rd 6:30-8:30, $7.50

I realize most of you reading this blog don't live near enough to come to this. I may do a video of the workshop, not sure yet if I can figure out the logistics of that.

E-mail me to register. If for some reason that link doesn't work (I think I fixed the problem earlier today) please e-mail me at renee at tougas dot net.
