  1. Have you ever thought about making your own bath bombs?  Maybe you have tried and can't quite get your mix right.  We run bath bomb courses that would be perfect for you.  We currently have two levels of bath bomb course but if you are new to making or can't quite get the hang of things then we really recommend that you start with our beginners course.

    The beginners course is always run in a small group usually of around 5.  With two instructors it means that you get lots of oppotunity to ask questions and have personalised attention.  During the beginners course you will cover ingredients and the percentages used, colouring, fragrancing, mixing, moulding and de moulding.  You receive course notes to take home with you and you take all of the bathbombs that you make home too.  On average you will make around 9-10 bath bombs.  

    You can purchase more ingredients to take home and practice with and you will receive a discount on further course bookings.  We have many people who wish to do the beginners course and immediately do the advanced course the following day or even that afternoon.  We would always recommend against this as you won't get your full moneys worth.  Once you have done your beginners course you will get so much more out of it if you go away and have a good few practices at making your bathbombs, master making a simple bomb before you start trying more complicated mixes.

    If you are interested in booking a course you can find the latest dates here

    For those who are a little further away from ourselves then we are introducing a correspondence course option where by your can purchase a kit containing the ingredients needed to make your own bath bombs, course notes and a dedicated email address for help and assistance.  You will be able to find the online option in our shop here

  2. If you have seen Ramsbottom in the news lately with the flooding damaged caused in Lancashire and Yorkshire this is where our workshop is based.  On boxing day our lovely little village was hit with horrendous flooding which saw the 200 year old pub crumble away and collapse into the river and many homes flooded and damaged.  

    Having had the work shop open 7 days a week during December Gregg our owner was more than ready for a break when Christmas arrived and the workshop closed on the 23rd.  Luckily escaping the damage he volunteered from Boxing day onwards helping to clear peoples homes and try and get them back home and safe, the locals have really pulled together working to help all of the families who fell victim to the flood.  I'm unable to help with the physical work due to my health but have helped with the admin of the facebook and twitter and setting up a just giving page for the locals.  It has been a truly heartwarming experience to see how the local people have all mucked in to help the families.  But from further afield we had offers of decorators from London coming up to help and many people turning up with countless bottles of bleach and mops... this really is the Christmas spirit that you hope to hear about!  So if you see us on the news (please god we are hoping that "Frank" doesn't cause us any further damage tonight!) now you know how pretty our little village is even when storm battered!  Happy, safe and healthy new year to you all,
