LLHL 126 - Intermediate Soap Making: Colors and Infusions

Step up your cold-process soaping skills with layering, marbling, and infusing! Use natural ingredients to create soap "batters" of different colors while making 2 different types of bars - a layered bar featuring add-ins like oatmeal, local honey, and sea salt, and a marbled bar incorporating a turmeric and paprika infusion that you'll start in class and finish at home. You'll make two 1.5 pound batches of soap that will yield 6-8 bars each. All ingredients are organic, non-gmo, and vegan! Students should bring 2 clean 4-8 oz glass jars with lids to the first class.  Long sleeves (natural fiber) are recommended for working with high temperatures, hot oil, and lye. Please bring a pair of safety glasses or goggles. Protective gloves are included in the special fee. Prerequisite: Soap Making (LLHL 184) or the equivalent.
