Crafting is a simple, fun and therapeutic way to bring people together. An experience to remember!
At Örreke, we value reuse and give preference to materials that are local or fair trade.
Soap making workshops
In our soap making workshops, we make soap from ready-made soap mass or using the cold process method. We also use various vegetable oils, medicinal herbs, soap images, or wrap the soap in soft sheep wool.
Frequently asked questions
For melt-and-pour soap we melt a ready-made soap base, add colour, herbs or pictures and pour it into a mould. Real soap you make from scratch: you choose the oils and plant fats and mix them with lye following a precise recipe.
The picture soap, herbal soap and soap felting workshops are also suitable for children. The real soap workshop is only for adults and young people aged 16 and over, because it involves working with lye.
Felted soap firms up and dries within a couple of hours. Real soap needs to cure for a couple of months before use.
You can add colour, herbs from our garden or the forest, pictures and pleasant scents. For soap felting we use soft sheep’s wool.
