Let's Make Soap with the Twisted Sisters
In this informal DVD, we prepare cold-process soap and explain the process as we work - from beginning to end. We list some suppliers and an on-line calculator for checking your formula before soaping it, and give you a recipe for your first batch. Our main goal is to make our students comfortable enough with the soap making process and especially to banish the "fear of lye" so that they will feel able to make soap themselves if they wish.

Soapmaking Kit
The kit includes pre-measured ingredients to make a 2 pound batch of cold-process soap. Also included are written instructions, gloves, a mask, and a cardboard mold.
We list shipping as our maximum $9, but this one must go UPS and so we'll charge what they charge.

02/13/10 - Intro to Medicinal Herbs
Wouldn't it be great to find plants outside that could help pull out that splinter, sooth that sunburn, and clear up that poison ivy? How about something to help relax and sleep, or to tame that tummy ache. There are even anti-viral herbs growing wild outside! Come learn about them with us!

02/20/10 - Herb Honeys, Syrups, and Elixirs
Whether the purpose is pleasure or medicine, these preparations are fun to make and a great way to incorporate herbs. We'll make one of each, and everyone takes some herbal honey home along with recipes and instructions.

02/27/10 - Making Incense
Using exotic resins, herbs, spices, and woods, we'll make delightful cones of incense. Each participant will make their own, choosing from various ingredients. We'll all roll about a dozen or so cones to take along, and have recipes and instructions if you'd like to make more. Hard to find ingredients will be available for purchase on the day of class.

3/6/2010 - Soapmaking
We've been making soap so long that our kids barely know there are store bought synthetic detergent bars! It is our pleasure to share some of what we've picked up along the way AND what we did wrong so you don't have to. We'll be making cold-process oatmeal and lavender soap. This is a demo-style class, but each participant will leave with some of the soap we've made and the know-how to go home and make it themselves. Materials will be available for purchase on the day of the class should you want to do that and a class hand-out with clear instructions will be provided.
