Figaro Forge Soapmaking Workshop at Creative Spark Arts — August 15, 2026

Looking for a hands-on soap making class near Harrisburg or New Cumberland, Pennsylvania? Join Figaro Forge at Creative Spark Arts for a beginner-friendly cold process soapmaking workshop where you create a full 2 lb artisan soap loaf from scratch. This is real soapmaking—not melt and pour.

You’ll choose your own scents, colors, botanicals, and design, then mix, pour, swirl, and decorate a completely unique loaf of soap.

Workshop Details

• Date: Saturday, August 15, 2026
• Time: 6:00 PM–9:00 PM
• Location: Creative Spark Arts, 335 Bridge Street, New Cumberland, PA 17070
• Price: $54.99 per soap loaf/project

What You’ll Make

Each project creates one approximately 2 lb artisan cold process soap loaf, which can usually be cut into around 10–12 full-size bars after it firms up.

You’ll be able to customize:

• Your scent blend
• Up to two colors
• Your swirl or design
• Optional botanicals and decorative toppings

No experience is needed. Figaro Forge provides the materials, safety equipment, instruction, and guidance throughout the entire process.

Priced Per Project—Not Per Person

Workshop registration is priced per soap loaf rather than per participant.

Two people may share one loaf, making this a great option for:

• Date night
• Friends’ night
• Parent-and-child activity
• Family time
• A creative night out

Please tell us how many people will be attending in the order notes during checkout so we can prepare enough seating.

Recommended for ages 10 and older. Any participating minor must remain under the supervision and responsibility of their parent or guardian throughout the workshop.

Cutting and Pickup

Because this is real cold process soap, the loaf needs time to firm up before it can be removed from the mold and cut.

Participants will return approximately two days later to cut their loaf into individual bars. Final cutting and pickup instructions will be provided during the workshop.

After cutting, the bars will need several weeks to finish curing before use.

What to Wear

Soapmaking can get a little messy. Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. Aprons, gloves, and safety glasses will be provided.

Thank You
