Step into a working soap distillery where every bar on the shelves was made by hand, just like yours will be. Nature Bar is not a workshop venue. It's a real soap distillery in De Hallen, Amsterdam, where Marlies and Jaros make every single product by hand, every week. When you join the workshop, you're working in the actual kitchen, with the real tools, next to the soap that's curing on the shelves around you. You'll learn how cold process soap is made, which organic oils and botanical ingredients go in, and why that makes such a difference compared to what's in the average plastic bottle. By the end of the session you'll have made your own bars. The soap needs a few weeks to cure, but it goes home with you on the day. Every single time, people leave surprised by how much they enjoyed it, and how good it smells in there. This is handmade, honest and genuinely unique. There is no other place in Amsterdam where you can do this.
