Delve into this easy and fun craft. You’ll make several different bars of soap using melt and pour bases and a wide choice of soap fragrances, colors and additives. You’ll go home with a set of soap molds that you can use again and again. An easy handmade gift idea!

Angharad Caceres is a lifelong crafter and until recently the owner of the Urban Craft Center in Santa Monica. Beginning with the Campfire group she belonged to in elementary school, she has dabbled in a huge variety of crafts (many of them glue gun dependent) but especially enjoys those that create objects with purpose. Bookbinding, soapmaking, knitting, and sewing are at the top of her list. Teaching has always been a part of her life, from the 4th and 5th grades she taught in Portland, Oregon, to the classes she ran at the Urban Craft Center; she is dedicated to sharing her knowledge and passion for making.
