Soap Making Workshop

Learn the art of cold process soap making in the heart of Kilkenny’s medieval city.

During this 2.5 hour workshop, you will learn how to work safely to make cold process soap from scratch. You will be introduced to beneficial oils, butters, essential oils and clays to make a beautiful, moisturising batch of soap. (Please note this soap will need a month to cure before it is ready for use).

If you would like to learn a time honoured skill, which you can replicate safely at home, please get in touch. 

Duration: 2.5 Hours
Location: 31 Castle Yard, Kilkenny Castle, Kilkenny.

Natural Skincare Workshop

Have you ever wondered what goes into natural skincare products… or would you like to learn to recreate some beautiful products at home? Come by yourself or bring some friends for a morning or afternoon to explore the magical world of speciality plant oils, exotic butters, aromatic oils and botanical ingredients.

What to expect: You will learn to make three natural skincare products. Comprehensive notes are included, to make further batches at home, in your own time. You will learn about the benefits of each ingredient, the ratios needed for a balanced formula, and sources for buying what you need in the future. (If you would like to purchase any of the raw materials, let me know, so I can keep them aside for you)
