I bought this wood carving day as a present for my mum who has always loved wood sculptures and was keen to learn some carving skills herself. Gareth was brilliant to spend the day with.

Natural vegan soap making (cold process method)

Honestly fantastic class. Roxana was so welcoming and really knows what she's talking about.

Very straight forward, so easy to learn at least the basics to soap making, and the rest is...
