I always had the desire to learn about natural soaps but was always too busy and didn’t find the time. With lockdown I had no excuse, so took the online course and was surprised how enjoyable, informative and easy it was. I love my lemon soap and will never go back to shop soap again. Thanks Roxi for educating me and helping me realise that I am not too old to learn. Get involved for those sitting on the fence.

Learned a lot and well worth going to.
Made some natural soap which foamed really well. Gave some to friends and they want me to make more.
Roxana was the perfect teacher and answered any questions we asked and gave us very in depth take away notes. Learning to make the soap was fascinating and very exciting and looking forward to using it. It was a nice small group. Would highly recommend.
Honestly fantastic class. Roxana was so welcoming and really knows what she's talking about. Really appreciated her patience with us too as we had to reschedule on a few occasions to do the class but it was worth it in the end. Very straight forward, so easy to learn at least the basics to soap making, and the rest is experimenting really. We highly recommend this class.
I have enjoyed the evening learning the technique and theory about the soap making process. Roxana was very experienced and knowledgeable and I would recommend she is right tutor to learn from. The best part of the course was how important the health and safety was as I have young children and to keep the ingredients far from their reach. It's been an experience journey.
We had a great afternoon learning how to make soap. Roxana definitely showed us how easy the process is, and shared all her knowledge based upon her own experiences with making her own soap. The take home notes were a great addition, and it was great to be able to make the soap on the day to take home. We can’t wait to make our own!!
Really great thorough class. Really appreciated her in depth take away notes and all your knowledge and years of experience
Roxana was very knowledgable of the product. Great workshop and beautiful smelling soap to take home. Very informative and very up to date on the health & safety aspect.
Had a very enjoyable experience, made better by the fact Roxana is very knowledgeable and experienced on the subject of soap making and is a lovely person too! A mixture of learning and practical engagement during the class, there was constant guidance throughout with the opportunity to ask lots of questions. As stated, good quality ingredients were used and choices to personalise the soap made. Very affordable and a great chance to learn the basics and an excellent foundation to do it yourself and start a new hobby. Would HIGHLY recommend.
Great course, informative, practical and a fun group. Roxana is very helpful and knows her stuff! Highly recommend..
Really informative and enjoyable - and a bargain at the price. Will be going to her natural lotion/moisturiser course and natural hair products classes too. Location is very convenient - a couple of mins walk from Angel tube.
Learned loads and made a v pretty bar of soap. As it's a non-profit class, makes it affordable for me so now looking forward to going her other workshops making lotion, scrub, lip balm, serum etc.
I really enjoyed the workshop and will definitely attend future ones. I also liked the materials provided and Roxana's way of teaching.
Roxana is a great teacher. Everyone was very happy with the workshop and what they made.
