Soap Ministry

Wash your hands of the little ones – or gather the Brady Bunch – for a soap making workshop that’ll have you pressing bars of the stuff from moulds, easy. Classes take place four times a day and start at $49 a person for an hour-long workshop, with soap recipes customised for both normal and sensitive skin. Choose a plain or herbed base plus a colour and scent, then select up to seven moulds in fun designs – popular ones include hearts, bears and roses. If you’re up for more, the intermediate workshop teaches soap layering and more complex techniques, plus 30 bars of soap for you to take home. Ingredients are vegan and at least 85 percent organic, too – that means minimal nasties, and no parabens or animal-based ingredients.
