Last night I took a class on soap making at the Urban Craft Center in Santa Monica. This was a completely new experience for me, and one I hope to repeat again in the new future. We made lye based soap with Olive Oil, Palm oil and Coconut oil- no animal products (I didn't realize that some soaps contain animal products but I am newly committed to buying only vegetarian soap). I added whole lavender and some chamomile flowers and I have to say it came out beautifully! It was great fun and I met some really nice people. The craft center itself was opened by a woman from Seattle and it offers great classes as well as studio space with sewing machines, paper cutters, anything you could possibly want to spend an afternoon crafting. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area. I have already made a few throw pillows and a curtain for our apartment and I am plotting what to make next.
