Learn how to make soap from veteran soap maker, Debra Maslowski. Her natural, homemade soap making process is simple, versatile, and teaches many every year!
How to Make Soap
Homemade soap making is my number one passion, so if I have a day to do nothing, I’ll just make soap all day.
People always ask me how to make soap, so today I show you how I do it!
Master Soap Maker for 20+ Years
In 1994 I came across a book on how to make soap and thought,
“Well, gee, it can’t be too hard.”
I remembered my great grandmother from Sweden had made soap, and so had my mother when I was much younger.
So I gathered my ingredients and set forth to make soap.
The First Batch of Homemade Soap
The first batch turned out great, then the next, but the next after that was a dismal failure. So what did I do wrong?
I wasn’t sure, so I decided to take a class. I contacted the local adult education centre and found the instructor had left the area.
Would I be interested in teaching?
I got talked into it and started the following January. I taught people how to make soap for a total of 11 years in Minnesota.
When I came to North Carolina in 2004, I had to hunt around a bit to find a venue, but ended up at a local college in 2007 and have been there ever since.
I now teach classes on how to make soap, along with several other natural products. I also sell my soaps and other products online, at local tailgate markets, and at the state fair each year.
