Advanced Artisan Cold Process Soap Making Class
SL01- Artisan Cold Process Soap | The Grinch Soap Workshop
Soap Stamp included
This workshop is one of our Holiday Special Program. It's great for personal use and gifting.
In this "The Grinch" Cold Process Soap Making Class that combines piping techniques and the use of a Grinch soap stamp, you can expect to learn a wide range of skills that blend artistic soap decoration with stamping for a festive, character-themed creation. Here’s what you can learn from such a class:
1. Grinch-Themed Soap Design
Learn how to design a soap inspired by the Grinch, including elements like color, texture, and a combination of stamped and piped designs. This will help you bring the whimsical nature of the character to life in your soap.
2. Soap Stamping Techniques
-
Using a Grinch Soap Stamp: You will learn the basics of soap stamping, including how to choose, position, and apply the Grinch-themed stamp to your soap bars. This will include ensuring you get a clear and clean impression of the design.
-
Stamping Timing: The class will teach you the ideal time to stamp your soap, usually 24 to 48 hours after pouring, when the soap is firm but still soft enough to take the stamp’s impression without cracking or smudging.
3. Piping Techniques
You’ll begin by learning basic piping techniques which can be used to decorate your soap bars.
4. Color Mixing
Learn how to mix and blend the perfect Grinch-green using mica powders, natural clays, or synthetic colorants. You’ll also explore color layering techniques to give depth and dimension to the design.
5. Fragrance Blending
The class will cover how to create fragrance blends that evoke the holiday spirit, using scents like peppermint, pine, or cinnamon. You’ll also learn how to balance fragrance oils to avoid issues like fragrance acceleration, which could affect your ability to pipe or stamp the soap properly.
