Where Curiosity Meets Creativity (And Gets Squeaky Clean!)

Remember the magic of making something with your own hands? That moment when you realize, "I made this!"? Bring that feeling to your group with a hands-on soapmaking experience led by Claudia DeFouw, The Asheville Soap Lady.

Your group doesn't just make soap. They share a creative break, learn something new, and take home something handmade.

In our hands-on melt and pour soap sessions, participants discover how soap actually works to clean our bodies, then put that knowledge into action by creating their own colorful, fragrant bars. We keep things safe, relaxed, and fun, whether your group has crafted before or never has.

Perfect for:

• Bridal parties, bachelorette parties, and girlfriend getaways
• Business retreats, team-building events, and conference activities
• Adult birthdays and holiday gatherings
• Nursing homes, senior living, and community groups
• Church groups and organizations
• Wellness and women's retreats

Each session is individually scheduled to give your group dedicated attention and a customized experience. Whether you're planning a party, a retreat, or an afternoon for residents, we'll work together to create the perfect soap-making experience.
