This can be done helping in handling ingredients and in learning all the steps of the soap process. At our museum you can book and attend different activites, having the possibility to choose activities for children and/or for adults. All experiences or workshops require a reservation.
Soap workshop for children
This workshop is specifically organized for children, giving them the possibility to handle natural ingredients to personalize a small soap heart in a joyful way. During this activity we will explain the “melt and pour” soap process and children can learn more about physical state of matter and they can learn to recognize parfums through the use of specific mediterranean herbs or essences. They can use all their creativity to personalize their soap by choosing essences or natural colorants that are available. Al the end of this workshop, they can bring at home the soap they made!
Duration: 15 min
Price: 5 euro per child/soap
Time Table: This workshop can be booked only together with the tour at the museum and it will start 15 minutes before every tour.
Soap and olives experience (Only for adults)
This experience is based on the main features of soap: ingredients, raw materials and so the land behind them. Our guests will be involved in a special tour at the soap museum. Then, there will be a workshop about how to make a soap starting from extra virgin olive oil. Our guests will have the possibility to choose among several ingredients like our citrus essential oils or fresh mediterranean herbs from our garden to personalize their own soap. We will make together this soap and our guests can collect it at the end of the experience to bring it with them at home.
Furthermore our guest will learn more about how to taste an extra virgin olive oil through a simple lesson and a panel test of our extra virgin olive oil.
At the end of this experience, we will relax under an olive tree drinking a glass of a nice sicilian wine and tasting some special sicilian tapas and olives from our olive garden.
