Step into the scents of the season and discover the magic of traditional soap making in this festive hands-on workshop with Pamela Mawhinney and Irene Gourley from local artisan brand Naturally Soap. Using the time-honoured cold process method, you’ll craft your own luxurious, all-natural soap infused with warming seasonal spices and pure essential oils perfect for gifting or adding a handcrafted touch to your home this Christmas. Learn the basics of blending, moulding, and curing soap, and gain the confidence to continue creating your own at home. As a special festive twist, each participant will receive a Christmas tree-shaped soap to decorate a charming keepsake or stocking filler that smells as good as it looks! 

All materials are provided. Just bring an apron, disposable gloves, a small towel, and your holiday spirit. Long sleeves and closed shoes are recommended for safety. 

Get ready for a deliciously fun festive adventure! In this hands-on Christmas workshop, kids will become mini chefs and chocolatiers, whipping up edible masterpieces that are as fun to make as they are to eat.

First, they’ll dive into the world of pancake art, using crepe makers to draw, swirl, and flip their own festive designs. Think snowmen, reindeer, and Christmas trees, all made from pancake batter! Once their pancake skills are on point, it’s time to switch gears and get creative with DIY chocolate bar making. Kids will design and decorate their very own chocolate bars using safe, no-heat techniques perfect for gifting or enjoying at home. 

All equipment is provided, and full health and safety guidance is given at the start. No hot appliances are used during the chocolate-making portion, and the workshop is 100% nut-free. Please inform the tutor of any allergies in advance. Contact details will be provided upon booking.
