hi edmond!

yes, the temperatures will be a bit of a challenge to my soapmaking methods.
where i make soap is a very different climate.
i guess i will have to move fast, get the soap covered, and perhaps stack the moulds to keep them nice and warm.
maybe use some blankets to keep them cozy!

i am very much looking forward to the workshops, meeting everyone and exchanging ideas! thank you for your welcome!

Welcome to Korea!!!

I hope you enjoy workshop with many Korean soapers & aromatherapists.

As you were informed it’s still cold around
-5C. Unfortunately weather forcast says it
will not warmer in next week ,
so I am worrying about cold weather might
disturb soap making.
After soap reaches ‘trace’, heat insulation
is very important under this cold temperature.

Anyway I am happy to see you next week.

Hiya Patti, Congrat’s on the soap teaching commission in Seoul 7 Daegu. Each and everyone of those students are receiving a huge gift – the gift of being taught the art and science of soapmaking by a madly passionate professional soapmaker >you<
Enjoy your time making soap and friendships.

Be safe out there.
Hugs, Mori

omg, -16C? That would be a shock to the system! Better take something you can ‘layer’… have lots of fun! Take lots of pics!

hello sixtyone!
thank you for your comment.
i am so excited to be visiting korea and sharing some soap techniques and meeting new people.

you know, i live in the wet tropics and it never EVER snows here….it never even gets very cold (right now it is 1am and 24 CELSIUS)….so i am not ready for the cold.
but everyone tells me the korean hospitality is very warm, so i think i shall be ok.

if i come back in september for another workshop and you get a ticket, PLEASE come and say hello to me.
i always love to meet soapmakers!

i heard you’ll attend some convention in Seoul and Daegu. so excited and wish i could a ticket for class, but it was sold out. T-T..
as a graduated school student, making soap is like my friend. i could get rid of the school stress.
nowadays, it’s some cold! here. anyway i am pretty happy because of your plan to visit Korea. Welcome!
