For those interested in what oils may be used

Sami tends to use the following:

• Olive and coconut oil – for soap making

• Grape seed oil – for skincare products

• Jojoba oil – for perfumes

  
  

Clothing guidance for all workshops

Please wear:

• Clothes that do not mind getting messy (oily) or bring an apron or overall

• Flat, closed-toe footwear (no sandals, please)

What to bring

• Notebook/paper and pen/pencil – to record recipes, notes, etc.

• Old clothes, overalls or apron – Wernog Wood does have some leather aprons

• Flat, closed-toe footwear – something comfortable that does not mind a bit of mess

For the soap making workshop

• Bring a silicone loaf tin (like a cake tin) if you have one – this makes a good mould, but do not worry if you do not have one

• Please wear long sleeves and closed shoes (no sandals)

• Safety glasses – some will be available, but you may like to bring your own

• Rubber or latex gloves – some will be available, but you may like to bring your own

• A face covering (like a COVID-style mask) if desired, though it is not necessary

For the perfumery workshop

• Try and avoid coffee as much as possible on the morning of and during the day of the workshop, as it can dull the sense of smell

• Avoid using perfumes and fragrances on the day of the workshop – this includes any garments treated with scent boosters
