Instructor Details

Shona O'Connor

I have been making soap, candles and bath products for over 25 years and over the last 20 years, I have taught face to face courses and created a number of online courses.

I started 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 an online version, which allows me to share my passion with students from all over the world, who want to learn or master soap making.

I have successfully sold my soaps, bath products and candles to friends, co-workers, at craft fairs and online.

The best thing about Hot and Cold Process soap making and candle making is that you can make totally natural products that do not contain any harmful chemicals. I can teach you how to make a simple, plain bar of soap, or how to unleash your creativity using fabulous colouring techniques. I have studied aromatherapy, so am the perfect person to guide students in the use of essential oils.

I have 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.

As with my experience of other course by Shona O'Connor I found this very informative and I love her thoroughness in explanations. Things that may be the same in the process of making different things she goes over in the lesson for each one. This means if I need to review a section it has everything in that section without me having to hunt for something in another section. The life time access to Shona's courses and the ability to contact her for anything is so great as well. I would fully recommend any of her courses whether you want to make a few things as a hobby or start your own business. Thank you Shona for sharing your knowledge.

I like that the instructor provided a slide show of what she was lecturing, for it was useful when taking notes and I did not know how to spell certain things. I liked this so I could research the things later. I also liked that the instructor provided a lot of other resources one can use as well.

The course was amazing. I learned so much about it, and I'll keep going with Shona's courses because she was clear, detailed and concise. I also liked the assignments. And hopefully, I look forward to making my own lip butter and soaps. Thank you, Shona, for your amazing courses

My second course I have from her. I love all the products to discussed and made. You get basic recipes to start you off and plenty of room to tweak and discover and explore. Very informative especially for beginners. I look forward to giving a few of these products a try and see where I will go from there. Thank you so much Shona!

very good for to support an intrest and go that little bit further , it provides great resources as well!

By Yoaris García on 10/26/2020

I loved the course and bought 3 more courses from the instructor, so you can get an idea. It has been great. The course takes you step by step creating each of the products, from how to select suppliers, ingredients, formulations, labels and packaging ideas. You'll love the extra resources. I recommend it 100% and it will be recommended to my friends. Soon I hope to be able to acquire the rest of the courses ( Melt and Pour and gel Candles).

well done, instructor very organized and explains everything

By Roslyn Brookson-Stuger on 9/26/2020

I personally would have love to see every step of the process in making the complete product, the melting of the butters ect. Other areas such as packing of the products in various containers could use some cropping. Still happy I got an opportunity to add to my knowledge.
