What To Expect
During this hands-on workshop in Luang Prabang, you’ll learn how to make natural soap from scratch using locally sourced herbs, flowers, and oils. Guided by an experienced soap maker, you’ll discover the science of saponification and explore the traditional cold-process method. You’ll measure and mix natural ingredients, learn how to safely handle lye, and add your favorite herbs, clays, or essential oils to personalize your soap. As you craft your own bars, you’ll gain insight into Laos’s connection with nature and traditional wellness practices. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have made your own beautifully scented soaps to take home — and the skills to continue soap-making on your own. It’s a creative, mindful experience perfect for anyone who loves nature, crafts, and authentic local traditions.

5.00What a fun experience! We did the 1.5 hour class, which included a lesson about how to make the soap, other methods of soap making, and instructions and hands-on making our own bars of soap. I really enjoyed the class, and actually walked away with the knowledge of how to do it again on my own in the future! The class was expensive, but worth it. Location was lovely. The instructor was professional and sweet!

5.00The soap workshop with Poupi was really good, pleasant and professional. The material tools, the little booklet to bring back home, all of it was well carried through. I’m glad I could learn to do handmade soap and bring 6 soaps home. The location of the workshop ideal ! Definitely recommend it.
