Designs in Soap Making
Do you have an eye for color? Learn some tips to make your product shine :)
I’ve been doing soap for about 15 years starting with melt and pour which is still my first love. I think of it as playing with light! Going from transparency to translucent to opaque. Have you tried dry brushing mica on detailed opaque embeds? How about a hit from a glitter sprayer to make you background pop? You can easily make interesting swirls with contrasting colors; one of my favorites is dark green and metallic copper.
Most of my business income is from teaching melt and pour classes be it at a church, senior center or community college. Everyone can make melt and pour! Easy, safe and great clean up. Also my student continually come up with ideas outside box.

Peggy - West Creek Family Farm
Liquid Soap Making
Come learn how to make liquid soap using the good old fashion way, or also known as the Catherine Failor way. May liquid soapmakers first learn how to make liquid soap by reading her classic book Making Natural Liquid Soaps.
My husband and I have goats and cow on our farm and we are working on being completely self-sufficient. About 15 years ago I was asked to make goat milk soaps and lotions. I took a class with Mrs. Brennan and needless to say I have been hooked and still making goat milk soaps. Last year I ventured into making other types of soap and I also make lotion and bath bombs. I know have added lotion without goat milk, liquid soaps and lotion bars.

Bath Bomb 2.0
Have you ever wanted to make pretty bath bombs without a lot of fuss? In less than 30 minutes? I can help you obtain this objective with inexpensive items you can buy locally. I will also demo The Electra Press Bath Bomb machine and show you how to use various colorants in bath bombs. I will share tips and techniques used to making your bomb look fancy with little effort. You don't have to spend a lot of resources to get a quality finished product. Bath Bombs are a billion dollar industry~ and a great addition to any bath and body line.
I started making candles in the early 80's- in anything from a clean paper milk carton to a fancy crystal wine goblet- from Gulf Wax. I then learned how to make tapers and hurricanes from beeswax and straight 1260 paraffin wax. After a few years, I learned from mentors online, as well as trial and tribulation~ how to make soy candles. Soy candles is when my first logo and small business began in 1999. I then started making soap - my first cold process experience turned into a wonderful journey of making all things bath and body. Bath bombs were on the bottom of my priority list and now outsell anything I make. Currently, I sell locally and have a few wholesale accounts for soap, candles and bath bombs.

Melissa Rivera - Essence & Aroma
Formulating with Essential Oils
In this presentation, you will learn how to use essential oils safely in your products. In this half hour, you will be provided with safety guidelines for adding essential oils to your formulations in soap, creams & lotions, salves, lip balms and other products you may have in your product line. This is a continuation of the essential oil demo offerings from the previous gatherings.
Essence & Aroma is a botanical body care business focused on product development, classes and 1:1 consultations. E&A is a business that has taken me to new heights. I have grown to understand what my real path is in creating formulations for clients. I work intuitively and use the chakras as my guide. I truly believe in the power of herbs and essentials oils and the deep connection a client has in wanting to heal.
