Have you ever wanted to make your own soap from but weren't sure where to start?

Using a premium glycerine melt-and-pour base, you'll craft three small soap loaves to take home, each one scented with organic essential oils, coloured with cosmetic-grade pigments, and decorated with organic botanicals.

A Workshop Worth Gifting Imagine spending a morning crafting beautiful, organic bath and body products — then wrapping them up as Christmas gifts people will actually love. That's exactly what this workshop is. Join us for three indulgent, hands-on hours where you'll work with premium organic ingredients to create three stunning products from scratch. No experience needed — just a love of all things beautiful, natural, and a little bit luxurious. What you'll make: 🛁 Bath Bomb / Shower Steamer — one recipe, two uses. Drop it in the bath for a fizzing, skin-softening treat, or place it on the shower floor and let the aromatic steam do its work. Either way, it's pure bliss. 🧂 Bath Salts / Foot Soak — a deeply relaxing mineral-rich blend with organic botanicals and essential oils. Perfect after a long day — or gifted in a beautiful jar, it becomes an instant favourite. ✨ Bi-Phase Body Oil — the product people see on the shelves and wonder how it's made. This gorgeous two-layer oil separates and blends on the skin, leaving it soft, nourished, and beautifully scented. You'll learn the why behind each ingredient — how organics make a real difference, how to layer scents, and how to personalise each product. By the end, you'll have a full set of handmade luxuries ready to keep or give as Christmas gifts that genuinely stand out. The details: 📅 Sunday 1st November, 10:00am – 1:00pm 💷 £60 per person — all organic materials and use of our workspace fully covered 👥 Minimum 8 / Maximum 10 participants 🎁 Everything you make, you take home @ Children 11 + welcome with a participant adult Light refreshments provided.
