Primitive Soap Making
REGISTER HERE: http://www.pineproject.org/program/primitive-soap-making/

We have fielded so many questions and dispelled so many misconceptions on this topic that we decided it was time to run this workshop! Making “Primitive” soap using lye made from wood ash and rendered fat is a much misunderstood process. When made properly, this type of soap should be hard, generate lather and clean just as well as “modern” or store-bought soaps — never ashy or greasy!

In this workshop you will learn how to make your own lye using wood ash in both the traditional and modern styles, how to bring it to the proper concentration for making soap, how to properly render fat, and how to put all your ingredients together to make a truly homemade product “just like Grandma used to make”!

Each participant will take home their own bars of primitive soap to save, use, or show off to family and friends.
