SGC to host bath balm, soap-making courses
The Department of Continuing Education at SGC is
about to revive the lost art of soap-making – at least on a small scale.
Continuing Education is sponsoring two courses on Saturday, Dec. 6, that are
sure to help you make bath time more relaxing and enjoyable than ever. Donya
Longoria will teach both classes, the first of which begins at 10 a.m. that
Saturday.
The first class will teach you how to make your own fizzy bath balms and
bath salts. They also make great holiday gifts. The $39 entry fee includes
all supplies. The two-hour course ends at noon.
Donya will be back at 1 p.m. to teach a soap-making course. In the class,
you will be able to design your own soap and the fragrance of your choice.
The course lasts from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The fee is also $39. However, if you
sign up for both courses, you receive $5 off. Be sure to wear comfortable
clothes.
Both of these events will be held in room 124 inside Peterson Hall. For more
information, call SGC Continuing Education at 260-4272 or email
coned@sgc.edu.
