Advanced Artisan Cold Process Soap Making Class

This Workshop is also included in our Holiday Special 1-Day Boot Camp of Artisan Soap & Body Butter

SA01 - Artisan Strawberry Cake Soap Workshop

This workshop is one of our Holiday Special Program. It's great for personal use and gifting.

This advanced cold process soap class offers hands-on learning and practical piping skills, allowing you to master a variety of techniques that can enhance your soapmaking process.

Here’s what you can typically learn from this workshop:

1. Understanding Soap Batter Consistency

Ideal Trace for Piping: Learn how to bring the soap batter to the correct consistency (thick trace) for piping. This is crucial to ensure the batter holds its shape when piped.
Timing & Texture: You'll practice knowing when the soap batter is ready to be piped without being too runny or too firm.

2. Piping Equipment and Tools

Piping Bags and Tips: Learn how to use a few different piping tips to create various designs. The class will show you how to assemble and fill a piping bag correctly.
Tool Handling: Techniques for holding and controlling the piping bag for precision, as well as troubleshooting issues like air bubbles in the bag.

3. Basic Piping Techniques

Start with simple designs like dots, swirls, and shells to get comfortable with handling the soap batter.

4. Color and Texture Coordination

Learn how to mix and incorporate colorants such as micas or natural clays into your soap batter for a vibrant or subtle piped design.

5. Soap Embeds Making

Soap embeds making techniques with Cold Process or Melt & Pour Soap.

6. Managing Soap Acceleration

Trace Acceleration Control: Learn how to handle and adjust for trace acceleration (speeding up of soap hardening) to avoid challenges like batter seizing or becoming too stiff to pipe.
Temperature Control: How to manage temperatures and work in a cool environment to ensure smooth piping.

** Please note that Cold Process Soap takes at least 4 weeks to cure, please plan ahead for your needs.
