GLIN Vegan Soap Making Workshop in Amsterdam

I have the pleasure to report that we did our first vegan soap making workshop in Amsterdam in the last weekend.

 

 

I got there almost too late, due to an open bridge on the way. Yes, here in the Netherlands that is so common, that even on the highways , you need to give priority to the ships if they are passing the canals under the highway so for the next time, I will make sure, that I calculate this in my timing.

 

 

 

 

It turned out that we got a real international group ( USA, Romania, Hungary) on the workshop. I was pleased with the openness of the ladies and it was nice to hear all the different motivation to attend on such an event. Some of them came because they love to craft and of course there were people with skin problems who are searching for alternatives of the medicines against their health issues.

 

 

 

After a short introduction I shared the basic knowledge of the Cold Process Soap Making. We had enough time to get answers for all their questions. When everybody felt comfortable with the Soap Making Process , they were able to design their own scented soaps. Some of them made two different types of soap even with herbs and essential oils.

 

After the design phase of the soap was ready, we put all the knowledge that we learnt in practice. It was nice to see how they picked the information quickly up and acted cautiously with the lye solution and made their soaps.

At the end of the session everybody got their batches of soap and packed carefully to take home.

Now it is time to wait another 4 to 6 weeks before they can try their own handmade vegan soap.

And look, I got already a nice product pictures in my mailbox:

 

 

Thank you ladies. You all did a great job! I hope you won`t give up and continue on this beautiful discovery of vegan soaps.

The next date for Vegan Soap Making Workshop in Amsterdam will be:
04.05.2014.
Mark in your Agenda and be part of the fun.

With love
