Learn how to make your own shampoo and soap bars

Description

Join Jenny from The Scottish Soapworks to learn how to make your own shampoo and soap bars using methods you can use at home.

You will learn about the benefits of the essential oils Jenny uses in her tried and tested recipes, and take home all the soap and shampoo bars you make on the day. 

After your workshop, you will be sent a set of notes including details of the ingredients, equipment and recipes used, plus a list of suppliers so you can continue making your own shampoo and soap bars at home.

This is a great workshop for those who want to cut back on packaging; know more about the ingredients they use on their skin and hair - and which ultimately end up in our rivers and oceans; and for saving money by making your own. It's also a fun creative activity to do at home with other family members.

Bring a friend and save*

We love to encourage people to get creative together. If you have a friend or family member you'd like to join you, if you book a second space at the same time you can save £5 when compared to booking two places separately. Just select the 'Bring a friend' option when booking your second space. 

*Only one bring a friend space per full price space.

More information 

The Arienas Collective workshops, courses and events are run from a supportive and welcoming home-based environment within a Georgian mews home in Edinburgh’s City Centre New Town. We invite you to join us, leave any day-to-day worries behind, and immerse yourself in being creative.

Spaces on our workshops and courses are limited so that our creative team of artists and makers can offer you the hands-on help and support you need to make the most of your time with us. 

All the equipment and materials you will need are included in the price, unless stated otherwise, plus light refreshments (a selection of Shibui teas, coffee, hot chocolate, and sweet or savoury snacks). On full day workshops you are welcome to bring your own lunch to eat inside or out; or there are a wide range of independent sit-in or takeaway delis, cafés, and restaurants, plus supermarkets, within a 5-10 minute walk.

PLEASE NOTE: Our workshop space is on the first-floor of a Georgian mews building and unfortunately we do not have lift access. The workshop space is in our home which is not nut free. Please let us know of any skin or food allergies before booking.

Private workshop bookings

Most of our workshops are also available to book for small private get-togethers; themed wedding and birthday celebrations; corporate team building and well-being purposes; and as in-store retail events. For larger groups, many of our workshops can be brought to a location of your choice. 

Age restrictions

Our workshops are planned with adults in mind. Many are suitable for teenagers, but some may require under 16s to be accompanied for insurance purposes. Please check with us before booking.
