Heritage Soapmaking Workshop

2026 Heritage Artisan Faire Workshops – Rediscovering the Past Through Craft.
Step back in time and explore the traditional art of soap-making in this hands-on heritage workshop. Learn about the history of soap, the role of natural oils and ingredients, and the science behind this centuries-old craft.

Following a live demonstration, you’ll create your own batch of cold process soap under guided instruction. Each participant will take home approximately 10 bars of handmade soap along with a complete soap-making kit, including PPE, a reusable professional mould, heat-safe jugs and tools, detailed recipe sheets, and a workshop handbook—so you can continue crafting at home.
