Ahhhh…summertime. Sunshine, bike rides, fresh-squeezed lemonade, and…soap.

skinnyskinny is bringing back our organic soap making classes! This means you (yes, you!) have the opportunity to earn bragging rights when you show all your friends the custom soap that you make in our workshop.

During these 3 hour hands-on classes, you learn the cold process of soap making, basics of scent-blending, uses of different oils, stability, and much more. The best part, you get to leave with over 50 ounces of your very own batch of soap. That’s 10-12 bars of of sudsy goodness for you to share (or you can keep it for yourself, we won’t tell).

Classes are limited to 8 people to ensure everyone gets ample time learning the craft. Private classes are also available for small groups (perfect for birthdays, showers, or team-building).

The next available class will be: Sunday, July 10th from 12pm to 3pm.

We’ll continue to announce new classes throughout the season, so be sure to watch our facebook, twitter, and website!
