Soap & Ceramic Soap Dish Workshop

Make your own soap and handbuilt ceramic soap dish in this festive workshop. Perfect for creating a thoughtful holiday gift Create five thoughtful, handmade gift sets just in time for the holiday season! Like making fresh pasta or mending your own clothes, soap making is surprisingly approachable but getting started on your own can feel daunting. With guidance from master soap maker Ryan Bissoon, you’ll learn the process step by step and gain the knowledge you need to continue making soap at home. During the first half of this two-hour workshop, Ryan will guide you through making five bars of soap. In the second half, you’ll switch to pottery and use handbuilding techniques to create five ceramic soap dishes to accompany your soaps. Handmade soap paired with a handmade ceramic dish makes a particularly meaningful present. Keep the sets for yourself or give them to friends, family, hosts, teachers, or anyone who would appreciate something made by hand. No previous soap-making or pottery experience is required. Beginners are welcome!
