A friends' outing in Amsterdam that stays with you. Not a standard high tea or escape room, but something where you make something together with your own hands and go home with a result you use every day.
The soap making workshop at Nature Bar is exactly that kind of outing.
Why soap making is the perfect friends' outing
The difference from other outings in Amsterdam: you go home with something of your own. An artisan soap bar you created yourself, with your own scent, your own design and your own choice of ingredients. Not a souvenir you've forgotten, but a soap you use in the shower four weeks later and that reminds you of that Saturday.
How does it work?
The workshop takes place every Saturday in our soap studio at De Hallen, Amsterdam-West. Start at 10:00, duration 2 to 2.5 hours. Over coffee or tea and snacks you learn the saponification process, create your own scent with essential oils and choose your design.
€74.95 per person, including all materials, coffee and tea, and your own soap block worth €35. On the day of the workshop you also get 15% discount on all Nature Bar products in the shop.
