WHAT: Make Organic Glycerine Soaps Workshop
WHEN: By Request, and every six months:
Tuesday, November 8 - 7:00pm - 9:00pm
WHERE: Anarres Apothecary, 1076 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON, M6H 1M6 ~ 1.5 blocks East of Dufferin subway on the north side of Bloor.
REGISTER: below! Register early as we only have 8 spots!
Love to use or give those beautiful clear glycerine soaps with flowers, toy spiders, or secret messages inside? The vast majority of melt-and-pour soaps have preservatives and sodium laurel sulphates in them, but Anarres serves up health-in light amber-coloured vegetable glycerine soap made with organically grown oils.
You'll learn how to melt, pour, set, cut and package 6 soaps hand-made by you.
We'll experiment with adding goodies like natural clays for colour, butter such as cocoa and shea for skin benefits and flowers, messages or ornaments for fun. You'll come away with skills that can serve you for a lifetime for a fraction of the cost of an artisan soap addiction!
The last workshop sold out!

It was a wonderful workshop! Tracey was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would not hesitate to take another class, I learned a lot more than just soap making. Thanks for sharing Tracey!
~ Teresa, DIY Natural Health Toronto member on Meet Up
I attended the Soap Making last night & had a fantastic time. Tracey is so knowledgeable & fun. I love the soaps we made... We all had lots of questions so we went into overtime. Anyway, it was great. Tracey, I love the ingredients & plan to buy some for myself & start making this product at home.

What are the rates for Evening, 2-hour Intro Workshops?
$10+HST PLUS
Pay-What-Feels-Right aka Pay What You Can at the end of the workshop.
The suggested payment is $40.
$10 Materials Fee is NON-REFUNDABLE but can be transferred to another date with minimum 7 days' notice. With less than 7 days' full days notice, the entire workshop fee paid is non-refundable and non-transferable. If you can't attend, consider sending someone in your place and let us know before the workshop the name and email of the person who is coming.
How does Pay-What-Feels-Right aka Pay What You Can work?
You will be invited to pay what feels right for our labour, marketing, travel costs and space rental after the workshop. We will hand out envelopes in case you want to contribute anonymously. If you would like the amount on your receipt, you can prepay an amount with your deposit, or you can come to the cash desk at the back with cash, or your credit or debit card and we will add your PWYW amount to your receipt.
HOW DO I DECIDE WHAT TO PAY?
It's up to you. We want workshops to be available to people with a range of means. Regular DIY workshop prices in Toronto range from $30 to $80 per participant for a two-hour workshop.
Consider:
* Paying what you earn per hour. If you earn $15 per hour, you could pay $30. If you earn $30 per hour, you could pay $60.
* Paying based on your annual income. If your annual income is $19,000, you could pay $19. If your annual income is $42,000, you could pay $42.
* Paying what feels right for what you received. If you recently paid $50 for a semi-private two-hour workshop, you could pay $50.
* That you are paying for the marketing, teacher's labour, the people who helped prepare materials, set up and clean up. Generally, six hours of work go into every two-hour workshop, and eighteen hours of labour go into every 6-hour workshop. Our workshops are all semi-private and include people who are exchanging work rather than paying money. We do not often earn more than minimum wage and we hope to change that!
* That you are receiving products you have made, skills that will last a lifetime, and 50% off essential oils at Anarres forever!
If you are stumped, please pay $40 on top of the $10+HST Materials Fee.
DEPOSIT OF $10+HST IS REQUIRED TO REGISTER: You may pay for my labour upfront here or at the workshop, but please make a minimum deposit of $10+HST to hold your spot. This pays for the materials and costs I need to spend upfront.
