Private Soap Making Parties

Private Soap Making Parties

A beautifully crafted experience to share

Gather your friends, family or colleagues and step into the art of traditional soap making — a relaxed, hands-on experience hosted in my private Hampshire studio.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, planning a hen gathering, or simply looking for something a little different, our private workshops offer a memorable and creative escape.

The Experience

During your private session, you will:

• Learn the traditional art of cold process soap making
• Create your own batch of soap (approximately 10 bars each)
• Work with natural ingredients, botanicals, and beautiful scents
• Enjoy a calm, welcoming environment designed for slowing down and creating together

Each workshop lasts around 2 hours and is fully guided from start to finish. We have a shop and toilet on site plus FREE parking!

A Small Note

As a small, busy business, I’m unable to offer phone consultations regarding private bookings.

All details will be shared via email once your enquiry is received.

 

After Your Workshop

Your experience is designed to give you everything you need on the day.

Ongoing mentoring or follow-up support is not included after the session.

A moment to gather, to create, and to take home something made by hand —

simple, traditional, and quietly special.

Private Party Pricing & Booking

Pricing

Private party workshops are priced the same as standard workshop bookings, on a per person basis.

This allows each guest to enjoy the full experience - creating their own batch of traditional cold process soap to take home.

Availability

Private parties are available at the following times:

• Monday – Thursday: 11:00am or 7:00pm
• Saturdays OR Sunadays: Available upon request

Please note:

Saturday bookings require a minimum of 8 guests

(weekday private bookings typically require a minimum of 6 guests)

Securing Your Booking

To reserve your private workshop:

• A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking
• The remaining balance is due in full 14 days prior to your workshop date

Your date is only secured once the deposit has been received.

Flexible Booking Option for Groups

For ease, I can create a private booking link for your group.

This allows each guest to:

• Book and pay individually
• Secure their own space within your private party

This is often the simplest option for larger groups.

A Small Note

As a small, busy studio, availability is limited and dates are offered on a first come, first served basis.

I look forward to welcoming you!
