Soap making workshop: Duckies Excited About Reading (IN PERSON)

Saturday, November 510:30—11:30 AMProgram RoomNewburyport Public LibraryNewburyport Public Library, 94 State Street, Newburyport, MA, 01950

Come make some reading duck soaps for the holidays! This workshop is designed for all ages. Each participant will make their own soapy creation using glycerin based soap and adding colors, glitter and scents. There is no lye exposure since the process does not involve traditional soap making techniques. Once the concoction has cooled slightly, we will add cosmetic grade glitter, colors, essential oil (optional), embed the reading rubber duckie toys and decorate the tops with white soap curls, creating waves. At the end of the workshop each participant will take their handmade creation home, it can be removed from the mold the following day and used right away. Soap is approximately 4 oz. with a 2” rubber duckie and overall measurements of 2.75” x 2.75”. This program is free- supplies will be provided.

Since the soap can get hot, a caregiver must be present for children under the age of 10 to help with the project.

This program is funded by your donations to the Friends of the Newburyport Library.
