Who: This event is open to any adult 18 or over. We limit this event to adults because we’ll be using lye which can be harmful if not handled carefully. If you have a mature teen over the age of 14 that you’d like to attend, please contact me directly and I will make these decisions on a case-by-case basis. A waiver of liability will need to be signed for all adults and minor children.
Included: The price of admission includes the workshop and all materials and safety gear needed to create your own soaps during the class. I’ll also include a PDF with the basic recipe we’ll be using and tips for making and staying safe during the process so that you can test your new skills at home!
About Our Soap: Here at Porky Pastures we have a zero waste policy. As part of that plan, we turn all of our excess animal fats into all natural, healthy soaps, candles, and home products. All of our lard is pasture raised on fields that are never sprayed and fed grains that are non-gmo, soy-free, and corn-free. We are a pharma-free, holistic farm. We don’t use synthetics, fragrance oils, or colorants other than organic foods and herbs that naturally provide color to our products. Examples include spirulina for the color green, activated charcoal for grays and blacks, turmeric for orange or oatmeal, honey, and cocoa for shades of brown.
