The pack is sent to you via Royal Mail and contains all the materials you need to make your batch of soap at home. Most participants make their soaps after watching the video,  having taken notes and possibly emailed their questions, but some brave souls do 'make along with Clara'... It's up to you

Happy soap-making :)
