May 24 – The Truth about Handmade Soap

If you've never experienced Handmade "real" soap, you've no idea what you are missing. Combining lye and various oils and fats to make soap may seem daunting but it is easier than you think and the results are well worth the effort. Join us this month to learn about our members ventures in handmade soap making. YOu'll get lots of tips, information and support to help you find a reasonable and affordable alternative to store bought soaps filled with a host of skin damaging synthetics.

HOMEMADE SOAP - no chemicals, no colors, no fragrances, no dyes, - Nothing but pure love was added to the oil and lye.

There will be a brief history of soap making and our speakers will each present a part of this ART.

Soap Sample given to all.
