SALT LAKE CITY, Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2014 – West Elm and Craft Lake City are excited to announce that the February 2014 workshop is sold out. The workshop will feature Tami Thornton of Beehive Soap and Body Care who will be teaching workshop participants how to create their own soap.
West Elm, a home furnishings retailer who helps and engages customers to shape their personal style in their homes, hosts the West Elm Workshop Series Presented by Craft Lake City, once a month at the West Elm Salt Lake City location. They continue their partnership with Craft Lake City, and their mutual goal is to compel participants of all skillsets to indulge in their creative sides to produce art and stylized home accoutrements.
Workshop participants will be learning how to create soap using a melt and pour method. Participants will create various soaps that can be scented and colored to fit their taste. They will leave with one to two of their own handmade creations. The workshop will be held on Feb. 6, 2014 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at West Elm in City Creek Center.
Although the workshop is sold out, in the event of a cancellation, workshop spaces will be allotted on a first come first serve basis. Email karamea@craftlakecity.com to reserve a waiting list spot.
