Learn how to make your own natural soap!
At this hands-on workshop, Toronto Beekeepers Collective member, Alison Honsberger will instruct participants on how to make soap using the cold process.
When you use this process, your soap will take a couple of months to cure, so please be prepared to wait to enjoy your creation. Each participant will leave with 2 soaps in a mold that they can take home while they wait for it to cure (choice of fragrances or plain), a list of suppliers for the raw materials and instructions on how to make fresh batches at home.
The workshop will be taking place at the Big Carrot, Room 212, 2nd floor, 348 Danforth Ave. Toronto.
For your added enjoyment, we will taste a variety of honeys.
The cost including all materials is $35 ($30 for members).

It is with great sorrow to share the death of one of our Toronto Beekeeping Collective members , Gita Schwartz. Gita joined the TBC in 2019 and was an engaged and very committed member who loved bees. She served on the Equipment, Education and Governance committees, and since 2023 was a member of the Board. She was a regular and enthusiastic contributor at special events at Ontario Science Centre, Downsview and at monthly and annual member meetings. She will be greatly missed!
