Bath Bomb Making Workshop

There is something genuinely satisfying about making something from scratch with your hands — and bath bombs are one of the most rewarding things you can make. In this two-hour workshop at the Smelty studio in Castle Cove, Sydney, you will learn exactly how bath bombs work, why each ingredient is there, and how to get the formula right every time.

Paula guides you through the whole process — measuring and mixing dry ingredients, blending your chosen fragrance, adding colour, and pressing your finished bombs into moulds. You will leave with 4–5 all-natural bath bombs that you made yourself, wrapped and ready to use or give as gifts.

This is a beginner-friendly workshop. No prior crafting or cosmetic-making experience is needed. It is just as good as a solo activity, a date, a birthday outing, or a small group catch-up. Group and private bookings are also available — email info@smelty.au to enquire.
