I felt the class was really dumbed down with everything being ready and not quite explained in terms of if I wanted to duplicate at home. The recipe helped but it was really not a "Maker" type class. It was more follow this direction and in 35 mins you'll be done. The class was 9:30-11:00am and myself and more than half the other people there left by 10:20-ish. I thought the class would go the length of time and instruct or discuss the many methods of making soap, different design instruction, etc. The discussion of different style options and technique options was ultra limited. I would say the class was more "Make A Cake Of Soap" vs. "Soap Making" in terms of content, instruction and learning. I was disappointed for sure.

It was difficult to hear the instructor with the music that was playing in the background.

Easy to follow instructions. Workshop was well organized and all materials were available and plentiful.

this was such a fun experience! With such a large group I feel that the 2nd "teacher" should have been more experienced/informed/confident because, there was a lot of miscommunication from her. This led to people starting before they should have and at time mixing ingredients that out of order etc. The work space was a bit squishy with all the people but other than that this was amazingly fun! I LOVE that shop and and plan on coming back with my friend to take the cheese board class!

The influx of late sign ups the morning of the class t made it more difficult for instructor. It was a bit hectic and made the experience less enjoyable.

Our facilitator was great at explaining the process. The space was kind of tight, I wish we were able to work on two tables so that we weren't on top of one another. Also, this is not the biggest deal in the world, but I would have preferred not to share stick blenders because there was no consistency in how folks stored them after they used it. If a general announcement about placing them in a clean bowl or something was made, that would have made it better. People were just leaving them on the tarp, close to other used materials like spatulas and lye bowls. Lastly, it would have been helpful to have written steps on a board or wall for reference during the session. Overall this was a great time! Those were a few things that could have made it smoother for me, personally.

I realize that I have so much more to learn!!
