Student Evaluations from Soap Making Class

I want to thank the students who participated in the student evaluations for my soap making class at the Sunnyvale Cupertino Adult Education Center on 4/12/08. And I want to take this opportunity to respond to some of the requests for classes.

For those who requested candle making class, I would recommend checking out The Nova Studio (http://www.thenovastudio.com)in/ in Point Richmond. Lori's Eco-Friendly Candle Making Class was last offered on May 17, 2008. And it does not look like it is offerred over the summer. If you would like to check out the description of the class please click this link http://thenovastudio.com/descriptioncandles.htm. If you would like to request this class to be offerred in the future, please email Lori at email@thenovastudio.com or click on the request in the class description (link above). On September 9th, The Nova Studio has an Aromomatherapy Soy Candles class from 6:30-9:30pm. If Point Richmond is too far for you to travel, you may want to consider Opalz Zoaps (http://www.opalzoap.com/) in Palo Alto. Annie is looking for classes to teach. So if you are interested, contact Annie at annie@opalzoap.com. If you can travel to Fairfield, CA., Joan Morasis will be teaching a 3 day workshop October 25-26, 2006 on Natural Skin Care Products. But, she added a 4th day on October 27th a Soap and Candlemaking workshop for $195. If you are interested and want more information, go to http://www.joanmorais.com/classes/3DayWorkshop.html.

For those who requested a higher level of soap making and are interested in learning the Cold Process or Hot Process Method, I currently do not teach those methods because it is difficult to teach those outside of a studio environment. But I can recommend, The Nova Studio (http://www.thenovastudio.com/) in Point Richmond which has a Cold Process and Hot Process Method offerred on August 23rd. If you are interested in the Hot Process Method at The Nova Studio, there is prereq of taking a Cold Process Class. Another suggestion is in the Fairfield/Napa area. If that works for you, Joan Morasis teaches classes on this subject. And if you are interested, go to Joan's website at http://www.joanmorais.com/ or to contact Joan email her at info@joanmorais.com. Annie at Opalz Zoaps (http://www.opalzoap.com/) in Palo Alto is the nearest location that teaches the Cold Process Soapmaking Method. If you are interested in taking a class from her then contact her by email.

If Melt and Pour Soap Making is your thing, Annie at Opalz Zoaps (http://www.opalzoap.com/) has offered classes in the past in soap loaves and more. If you are interested, please contact Annie.

As for a bath salts class, I do have a class scheduled on October 25, 2008 through the College of San Mateo's Community Education (http://www.collegeofsanmateo.edu/). Look here for an annoucement when to register for that class. Or I will be offerring the class sometime in Quarter 2 through the Sunnyvale Cupertino AEC (http://ace.fuhsd.org/).

If those do not work for you, I would recommend checking out You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/). I found some instructional clips on soap making and candlemaking.
