AN EVENING WORKSHOP WITH ROCIO GARCIA

Friday 4 September 2026, 6 to 8pm, £35


Collect your soap on Sunday 6 September- 11am to 12 noon

This workshop is for adults (18+).

Come to make your own natural soaps with your favourite ingredients.

You will work from a single soap mix for which you will see all stages, learn about formulas (and how to create your own in future) and learn about the safety aspects of making soaps.

Each attendee can then personalise their own soaps with natural essences, ingredients and colours of their choice.


Rocio will provide all materials for each person to make (and take home) approximately three bars of soap.

You will need to leave the soaps to do their first cure at City Arts over night and come back on Sunday (21 April 2024) to unveil and take them home for further curing.

Rocio will provide you with instructions for the further curing of the soaps and storage.

City Arts Newbury is the place to come and feel welcome and find your creativity!

City Arts aim to promote, maintain, improve and advance education and appreciation of the arts in all forms in West Berkshire and the surrounding areas. 

To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, assist them to integrate into and contribute to society.

It was created in 2015 by Claire Struthers-Semple and Isabel Carmona with the aim of providing a friendly and welcoming place to learn, share, teach, collaborate and exhibit art.

A place where people could come together and enjoy Art in a friendly environment.

On Friday mornings you are able to take part in Friday Art Sessions which are free and a way to meet new people while trying various art techniques.

These sessions receive funding in various ways so they can pay the artists delivering the sessions fairly.

There is always an exhibition to see at City Arts, and they are free to visit! 

They offer affordable exhibition space to artists and collaborate with local schools and projects to showcase creativity.

There are opportunities for artists to submit work for their Open Exhibitions each on a particular theme.

Check their programme of exhibitions to check what is on offer .

They are proud of their involvement in the community and run seasonal free and low cost events. 

With their commitment to the community, they have a strong ethos of equality and inclusion.

Their flagship Chalkfest event takes place every August – they take over the Market Square in Newbury and enjoy brightening up the pavement!

A competition of the chalk drawings is judged by a local artist with prizes for different age groups.
