hands-on studio classes
Soap Making & Bath Bomb Classes in New Castle, Indiana
Roll up your sleeves and make something real. Our hands-on studio workshops cover bar soap, bath bombs, wax melts, and sugar scrub & lotion — you pick the fragrance and color, pour it yourself, and take it home. The soap you pour is melt-and-pour; while it sets, we walk you through how our cold-process goat milk soap gets made in the same room. Serving Henry County and central Indiana, all levels welcome, everything provided. You're taught by the makers, in the working studio where we've hand-poured every batch since 2014 — not a franchise craft night.

what to expect
A day in the studio
Meet the Maker
Mary — a former jet mechanic in the US Air Force — shares the story behind what you're creating: the ingredients, the benefits, and the meaning behind the name. This isn't just a craft class; it's a window into the craft itself.
Learn the Process
Follow along as Mary walks you through every step, the same way she makes it herself. No experience needed — just curiosity.
Make It Yours
Choose your fragrance, color, and finishing touches. Same process, completely personal result.
Take It Home
Leave with something you made with your own hands — ready for anyone lucky enough to receive it.
Everything you need to know
What makes your classes different from other Indiana studios?
You're in a real working soap studio, taught by the people who actually make and sell BeeHive products — a veteran-owned business that's been hand-pouring soap in New Castle since 2014. You'll work with the same tallow and goat-milk recipes we sell, and leave with something you genuinely made, not a pre-assembled franchise kit.
How long are classes?
Classes run about 1.5 hours. Private group bookings can be longer depending on the format you choose.
What's included?
All materials, tools, and supplies are provided. You only need to show up — no prior experience, no shopping list.
Who can attend?
All ages and skill levels are welcome. Kids love it. So do first-timers who've never made anything by hand before.

What if I need to cancel?
