Wreath Making
Wreath Making may seem to be a daunting task but this class will demonstrate 2 different ways to create a wreath and learn how to hold a class and teach them yourself. All materials will be included and you will take home a finished wreath. Additional dried flowers will be available should you want to embellish your wreath.
Hot Process Soap Making
Hot process soap making uses an external heat source to bring the soap to gel phase, where it can be poured into a mold. However, although this process provides a fine bar of soap and may be used the following day, the appearance is more rustic. If you have made soap for years but never used this technique it will be a great class to add to your soap making knowledge.
