Upcoming Classes
Soap Making with Valentine Gardens
Instructor: Mark Valentine, Valentine Gardens
Date: Wednesday, March 12, 6-8pm
Cost: $65.00
In this class we will learn from local farmer, educator, and soap maker Mark Valentine of Valentine Gardens, Green Bay. We will learn easy and safe ways to make homemade lye-based soap incorporating the amazing benefits of goat milk, coconut oil, and tallow. Goat milk makes a lovely, creamy, soap that is rich in moisturizing caseins and vitamins that balance the skin's pH and promote exfoliation. Goat milk makes a hard soap bar that is long lasting. When combined with tallow, a rendered animal fat, you get a beautifully conditioning bar that’s perfect for all skin types.
Making your own soap is fun, easy, more affordable and environmentally sustainable. Plus, you get to customize with your favorite scent! Each class participant will make 10 bars of lovely, sweet-smelling soap to take home,* as well as recipes to make again and again – these soaps makes great gifts for family and friends!
*Note: Depending on soap processing time, soap bars may need to be picked up the following day at Sweet Willow. Once home, the bars need to set for 6 weeks before use.
