How can natural, therapeutic soap for face and body be made at home? Which plants and natural ingredients can replace conventional products that carry a heavier environmental cost?
Drawing on traditional knowledge of plants and natural resources, this workshop introduces participants to the principles and techniques of artisanal cold-process soap-making. By observing and identifying species useful for hygiene and personal care, participants explore the properties, processes and methods of natural soap production.
At the end of the workshop, each participant takes home the products made during the session, together with the tools needed to repeat these practices at home.
