Soap Making for Beginners

About the Course

The workshops are held in the Aroma Natural farmhouse kitchen near the wonderful North Norfolk coast in Hindringham.

This workshop is ideal for beginners.

One to One personal tuition is offered on this course so I can give you my full attention for the day while you make wonderful, handmade soap.

I want each person to have a memorable day so we start the morning with a coffee/tea and chat so we can all get to know each other and relax.
