Craftopia: Packing Party @ Craftopia
Mar 22 @ 5:00 pm

Join us once a month to help prepare and pack up craft kits. These kits are donated free of charge to the Tacoma Public Library and Pierce County Library systems. The libraries then distribute them to the community so people of all ages can learn new projects and explore their creative side.
Packing parties include prepping of supplies and stuffing ziplock bags with materials. We stuff between 100-300 bags each time, so lots of repetitive motion. Beverages and snacks are provided, but feel free to bring your own as well.
RSVP’s appreciated but not required.

Craftopia: Soap Making class @ Craftopia
Mar 26 @ 12:30 pm

Have you ever wondered how to make soap from scratch? Well, now is your chance to learn about cold-pressed soap! This 90-minute class will start with a demonstration of making a soap base using various oils and goat milk, as well as discussing the challenges and safety precautions required when using sodium hydroxide for saponification. The soap base will then be divvied up and students will be able to color and scent their batch to make their very own personalized bars of soap. You will be sent home with three bars of your very own as well as instructions on how to cure it. Cold processed soap requires three to four weeks to cure, so please be sure you have a place with good airflow for it to rest for that time before using.
$30 per person. This class does involve the use of sodium hydroxide which is caustic, so right now this class is for ages 16+ only.
