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

In this "The Santa" Cold Process Soap Making Class that combines soap layering, Embedding and piping techniques. Here’s what you can learn from such a class:

1. Santa-Themed Soap Design

Learn how to design a soap inspired by the face of Santa Claus, including elements like color, texture, and a combination of Layered, Embedded and piped designs. This will help you bring the whimsical nature of the character to life in your soap.

2. Embedding Designs in Soap

  • Creating Soap Embeds: You’ll learn how to create small soap embeds, such as tiny Santa eyes and Nose, and embed them within the soap or place them on top for added decoration.
  • Embedding Layer Techniques: The class may cover how to embed these designs between layers of soap, ensuring they stay visible and secure.

3. Piping Techniques

You’ll begin by learning basic piping techniques which can be used to decorate your soap bars.

4. Coloring Techniques

  • Santa’s Red and White: Learn how to mix and create vibrant red for Santa’s suit and crisp white for his beard and accents. You’ll explore how to achieve these colors using natural colorants like clays and micas or synthetic colorants.
  • Layering Colors: You’ll also learn techniques to layer different colors in the soap batter, ensuring that the red, white, and any other holiday colors don’t bleed or muddy together.

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.
