Part of our master class series: Extracting Color for Nature.

This master class, with 16 lessons and videos, is a multi-day soapy festival of information that you can digest at your own pace. And, we’re going to have so much fun!

p.s. No, this isn’t a basic “here’s how to make a hot infusion, and here’s a cold infusion”. This is a full course on all types of oil infusions, discussing when they are appropriate to use, and how to “cheat” them with hybrid infusions to optimize your soap production (and to get great colors of course!).

You’ll get everything from the Oil Infusion Tutorial, along with additional lessons including full videos of the cuts, reviews, assessments, updated color videos and photos as the soaps age and mature, and a mini-tutorial on micro-batches!

Purchase this single master class, or get the full Master Class Bundle that includes everything you need to create and use water macerations AND oil infusions in your handmade soaps.

Part of the Extracting Color from Nature Master Class Series

In my book, The Natural Soap Color Palette, I discuss how to extract the color of out nature and put it into your soap with infusions, teas, and slurries. And now, we’re diving deeper into oil infusions as I show you exactly how I do it with in-person videos PLUS bonus tips!

Here are just some of the topic covered in this oil infusion based botanical colorant master class:

We’re going to discuss how to determine if you should use oil or water to extract your colors.
We’ll even talk about how to see if the “lye monster” will turn your color brown.
You’ll never have to guess again about how much of your favorite (or new) botanical you need to use.
I’ll show you exactly how to make, troubleshoot, and use infusions.
- PLUS proof positive which is better: Cold or Hot oil infusions
- PLUS you’ll learn all about my hybrid infusions that rival cold infusions in as little as 1 weeks time.
- PLUS I show you exactly how to make micro batches to test colorants one bar of soap at a time.
- PLUS we going to compare color intensity based on formulation and gel phase.
Tackle one of the most difficult botanicals, alkanet, and make perfect purples every time! You’ll be able to apply this knowledge to any botanical you want to infuse for soap colors.

And best of all…. we’ll be making soap out of various infusions AND discussing the results of all of our hard (and fun) work.

And, since we can’t make soap without making art (well, you could, but art is half the fun!) you’ll also receive the following mini-tutorials on in the video lessons:
