CAREER CHOICE WORKSHOP – CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIST
We all use a lot of cosmetics, perfumes and household chemicals in our daily lives. But how are they made and who makes them?
Hundreds of ingredients, combinations of scents, colours and flavours… Surely only a magician can do that!
In the workshop, we will learn about the variety of products we use, how their recipes are created, take a peek into the mysterious production process and make two products each according to our own original recipe.
The workshop is a collaboration with Latvian cosmetic manufacturers “Īstās Jāņa soaps” and “Bio2You”.
From 10 years of age
1 group of up to 30 participants
Workshop duration -1-2 academic h
SOAP-MAKING WORKSHOP “SOAP IN ANCIENT AND MODERN TIMES”
Who among us is not a master of “soap making”, but giving your mum, dad or mum-in-law a homemade soap is a nice surprise! We will teach children how to make soaps that are colourful, fragrant and beautiful.
Soap making is a somewhat magical process of choosing a shape and a colour combination, mixing and stirring, adding something, adding this, smelling and admiring the result. Just as no two people are the same, no two soaps are the same.
This has been a favourite workshop of ours for many years and we can safely say – everyone from 4 years upwards loves it and the results are always fantastically beautiful!
