2hAbout this experience
Our workshops are very limited, once workshops are published we do not add any additional days. If you are inquiring about dates further in advance, please note we will do our best to accomodate, unfortunately we are not that flexible with days and workshops are only held at 10:30 start time.
Join our botanically-inspired soap-making workshop to create your own bespoke fragranced soaps with essential oils and organic ingredients.
Learn how to hand-make soaps in the small-batch way we practice at The Highland Soap Company and leave with confidence in your ability to master the art of soap making - and with the products you made yourself!
Itinerary (2hrs approximately):
- An hour soap-making workshop. Choose your favourite fragrances, colours and botanicals
- A coffee in our Larder Café while your soaps are setting
- Package up your soaps ready to take home to keep for yourself or give as a handmade gift
16+ or 8+ when accompanied by a paying adult. Max 4 people per workshop. Dates are added approximately 4-6 weeks in advance.
All timings are approximate depending on how many are booked on to the workshop and setting times for soap.
Watch this space or follow us on social media - we will let you know when spaces are available. Join us on a journey into a world of Highland beauty, inspired by our organic and natural ingredients…
To avoid disappointment, please pre-book for a class, we cannot guarantee that we can run a class if you turn up on the day. We hold the workshops around the production times, as we are a working factory.
Had a great time learning to make soap - would definitely recommend.
Lovely morning. Whit great result.
Lovely, relaxing and a fun activity. It was good to learn how the soaps are made and be able to make your own using the ingredients of your choice. Abigail explained everything so well. The cafe and shop are wonderful. It's a great day out.
My 9yo and I attended this workshop last week and had a really great time. Teeny is an enthusiastic, fun, and patient leader for this activity, and the other two attendees were repeat customers and a nice couple.
You choose your scents and colours, write down your "recipe", and make up a name for your blend before mixing and pouring the soaps. You get to take the notes with you at the end, so you remember exactly what went into the mix and when. We each made four soaps (one scent and colour pallet for all), and were able to use the dregs of our mixes to make a "bonus" mini soap each, in a wee mould of our choosing: none of the mixture was wasted.
A warm beverage from the café is complementary for each ticket-holder, which was a nice surprise. We enjoyed this break at a reserved table and had a browse around the shop (beautiful and fragrant) until it was time to unmould, decoratively wrap, and label our soaps.
Next time we are in the area, we'd like to participate in this workshop again, 100%. We have lovely, unique souvenirs for ourselves, and will be gifting some of our creations to loved ones. Plus, it's fun and you get a cuppa! Bravo
What a wonderful experience! Relaxing, creative, social and such fun and Teeny was fantastic - so bubbly and even tried to teach us a couple of Gaelic words 😀
