A Workshop on Traditional Soap-Making Without Potash with Suna Kalayc\u0131<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sunday 29 November 2026 | 11.00\u201317.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash, water and olive oil\u2026 For centuries, the simplest ingredients provided by nature have been used for cleaning in Anatolia. These three ingredients have been transformed into natural soap through knowledge and craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation.

We are discovering Anatolia\u2019s traditional lye-free soap-making with Suna Kalayc\u0131, one of the last masters keeping this culture alive. Suna Kalayc\u0131 will be sharing the secrets of traditional lye-free soap-making at the Sevilma Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This traditional method, which has largely been forgotten with the spread of industrial soap production, is one of the valuable examples of production in harmony with nature and local knowledge that have survived to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sevilma Academy is hosting Suna Kalayc\u0131 at a special workshop with the aim of keeping this ancient craft alive and passing it on to future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this full-day workshop, to be held at the Sevilma Garden\u2014Turkey\u2019s first Slow Food Farm\u2014in the village of Orhanl\u0131, \u0130zmir Seferihisar, we will experience together, from start to finish, the process of turning olive oil into soap using natural lye made from oak ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you ready to make your own olive oil soap using entirely natural methods?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Footsteps of an Ancient Craft with Suna Kalayc\u0131<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this method, which uses natural alkaline lye obtained from oak ash instead of the ready-made caustic soda used in modern soap production, soap-making involves more than simply combining the ingredients. Every stage \u2013 from preparing the ash to achieving the correct concentration of lye, and from combining it with olive oil to the formation of the soap \u2013 requires attention, patience and skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the guidance of Suna Kalayc\u0131, participants will learn the finer points of this traditional craft whilst discovering how materials sourced from nature are utilised and appreciating the value of a culture that has been passed down from the past to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will we be doing in the workshop?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. The Story of the Ancient Production Basins<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be discussing the past and future of ancient production basins and traditional production with G\u00fcven Eken, founder of Sevilma. We will then explore olives and oak trees\u2014two products of the ancient K\u0131z\u0131lda\u011f production basin in Izmir\u2014and discuss their connection to oak ash soap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Making Natural Ash Water from Oak Ash<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a conversation with master craftswoman Suna Kalayc\u0131, we will learn about the properties of oak wood ash, how ash water is obtained, and the methods for preparing the appropriate alkaline solution for soap-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Traditional Soap-Making with Olive Oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Sevilma\u2019s olive oils, we will gain hands-on experience of the saponification process of olive oil using lye. We will focus on preparing the mixture, monitoring the saponification process and the finer points of traditional production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The Subtleties of Mastery<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on Suna Kalayc\u0131\u2019s experience, we will learn about the consistency of soap, the key points to bear in mind during production, the problems that may arise, and their solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Soap Curing and Use<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will discuss the curing process of the soap before it is used, the correct storage conditions, and the characteristics of soap made using traditional methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Experience Sustainable Production Together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sevilma Academy aims to keep alive production methods that respect the cycles of nature, traditional crafts and ancient ecological knowledge through hands-on workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production of olive oil soap from oak ash is another specific example of this approach. Once a part of everyday life in many parts of Anatolia, this method of production is regaining importance today, both in terms of preserving cultural heritage and the circular use of resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
