** PREREQUISITE: Our Cold Process 101 Class OR Equivalent Experience Required **
Tired
of waiting 4-6 weeks to use your handmade Cold
Process soap?
Or, perhaps you never really got into CP soapmaking due to the
long curing time?
So, what's a soapmaker to do? The Answer: Hot Process.
Hot
Process (HP) is another method of making soap completely
from scratch. It differs from the more common Cold
Process (CP) method in that heat is applied to
complete the saponification process before the soap goes
into the mold. The result is a great bar of soap,
similar to what you get with the CP method, with
one HUGE BENEFIT; the soap is technically ready to use immediately
(although it's a good idea to allow a few weeks for the soap to firm up). For those of you who plan on selling your
soap, a reduced curing time means that you can fill custom
orders in half the time (and HP soap uses less scent so that will save money). Saving time AND money... what could be better?
This class will focus on the Crock Pot Method. You'll
learn everything there is to know about making HP Crock
Pot soap; including what equipment & ingredients (oils,
colors & scents) work best, what flash points are and why they are so important when hot processing soap. Take home handouts complete with instructions, several
tested recipes, and enough information to make hot process
crock pot soap on your own. Students also take home their choice of a bar
of finished hot process soap, made on a previous day, and ready to use.
NOTE:
This
is an age 18+ class since making soap from scratch involves working
with lye (aka sodium hydroxide). To take
part in stirring the soap, please wear or bring a long-sleeved
shirt. You'll also need rubber gloves and safety goggles. There
will be several pairs of goggles and gloves to share, but if you
prefer your own please bring them to class.
PREREQUISITE:
Our Cold Process Soap 101 Class or experience making CP soap on your own. This is so that we do not waste class time repeating the basics. Instead, this class will
allow time for a more in depth look at both CP and HP soap making. NOTE: Hot Process is not the same as Melt & Pour, which is soap "crafting" (not soap "making") using a pre-made soap base.
