Create beautiful, handcrafted gifts in time for the holidays while learning the traditional art of cold-process soap making.

In this beginner-friendly class, Jennifer of Olio Skin will guide you through the soap-making process from beginning to end. You’ll customize your batch by choosing your own scent, color, and botanical or exfoliating additions, then take home approximately 1.5 pounds of soap—enough to make eight guest-size bars.

Once cured, your soaps will be ready to wrap with ribbon and gift tags for thoughtful handmade holiday presents. By making your batch in October, it will have plenty of time to cure before the holiday season.

No experience is necessary, and all materials are provided. Come ready to learn, experiment, and discover why Jennifer believes soap making is a practical skill worth bringing back.

Meet the Instructor

Jennifer is the maker behind Olio Skin and is passionate about sharing the benefits and traditions of handcrafted soap.

“Once upon a time, every town had a soap maker. I want to be the soap maker and educator of SLC.”

Jennifer believes handmade soap is better for our skin—and that the knowledge behind this once-common household craft shouldn’t be kept secret. Her classes make the process approachable, creative, and genuinely fun.
