I have been making soap, candles and bath productsfor over 20years and over the last 15 years, Ihave taught face to face courses and created a number of online courses.
Istarted with the Melt and Pour soap method and then went on to make soap from scratch using the Cold Process method. I love to share my expertise with others, which led me to start teaching soap making from my home. Now my course is anonline version, whichallows me to share my passion with students from all over the world, who want to learn or master soap making.

I have successfullysold my soaps, bath products and candlesto friends, co-workers, at craft fairs and online.
The best thing about Cold Process soap making and candle makingis that you can make totally natural productsthat donot contain any harmful chemicals. Ican teach you how tomake a simple, plain bar of soap, or how tounleash your creativity using fabulous colouring techniques. Ihave studied aromatherapy, so am the perfect person to guide students in the use of essential oils.
Ihave always loved teaching and love the satisfaction of teaching a complete beginner to make something creative and seeing or hearing about their delight in the fabulous results they have achieved. Udemy's discussion area is perfect for following up with students and sharing in their successes.
Join my courses and let me help you have fun and make amazing soap, bath products and candles.

Yes very good
I learned a lot about coloring soap and when we can mixes oil with color and water with color as well.

By Jen Vipond on 10/25/2020

As I have just been certified in Aromatherapy the first section on fragrances and Essential oils was not what I was after. As i moved down into Castille soap and making soap with Goat milk, this was more what I was after. Thank you
