We hold day soap making courses in France at Melinda's restored farmhouse in the Dordogne right through the year. These soap making courses are run for a minimum of two people so if you feel like a break, you are welcome to contact us at any time and we will try and run a course to fit in with you.
The atmosphere is informal to say the least with two very large poodles usually in attendance around the soap pot.
We are situated in a tiny commune 8kms from four of the prettiest villages in France and the area is renowned for its gourmet food (Melinda doesn't do cooking but there are always some great cheeses and salads for lunch) and, you can play table tennis while you are waiting for your soap to trace.
We are not currently offering accommodation with these courses but there are several b&bs and gites in the area. If you are on holiday in the region why not plan in a day's soap making !
There is no public transport and we advise you to hire a car so you can get about in the evenings. We are happy to circulate emails prior to the course so that you could join together to do this and share the cost.
In the winter we have a huge log fire and we greatly enjoy having some convivial company around.Our soap making courses in France are conducted in English but whilst our French language is limited, we have had French participants with very little English on many of our soap making courses in France and they say they had no problem understanding us ! The papers, however, are currently in English but we are working on a translation.
