JOIN OUR PRODUCT SWAP? If you've never done a swap before, you are in for a real treat! A SWAP is a great way to get your product out there and see what other people are doing at the same time. The SWAP category is SOAP (cold process, hot process or melt & pour). Please try to make your soap as natural as possible (ex. choose essential oils over fragrance oils, etc.) so the products in the swap will be able to be used by everyone. Each swap will have a maximum of 10 people. If we get a large number of participants, we'll have several 10 person swaps.
HOW DO YOU JOIN ? Simply contact us at 510-234-5700 and let us know your name, email & phone #, and what you are bringing. Bring 10 of your chosen product (full size bars please) and a typed 8.5x11 recipe sheet (11 copies). Then show up to the anniversary party at 1pm and we'll display your handmade/crafted soaps for all to ooh and ahh. Around 5pm or when you are leaving, you'll grab one of each soap to take home along with the recipe book. Very simple and tons of fun - trust me - you'll love it!

Slide Show From Our Last Two Anniversary Parties
We had 79 attendees!
"I am writing to tell you that I had a great time @ your celebration this weekend. I made it in time to get a goodie bag.... So many great samples & valuable, valuable resources. So congratulations on a job well done & may God Bless all of your future endeavors. p.s. The eye shadow matching was the Bomb! I had to take home a kit." ~Kyonda Trass
"It was great to see you and to enjoy an afternoon with other crafty people! The studio looked great. I so enjoyed visiting the tables & seeing what the teachers were doing. I think Alicia's geode soap is a very clever idea. I put my magnet from Diane's table on the refrig. when I got home. While I'd taken beginning PMC & didn't think I had the aptitude for it, after watching Patrik today, I may try the class again!" ~Mary Still
"Thanks for inviting me to the party - I had a very nice time! I am in school right now but I will take a candle class in Jan. or Feb. I loved all the things in the goodie bag and the PMC necklace that I won in the raffle! You are a lovely lady and I enjoy the studio. I like to share it with family and friends so that they can have fun too!" ~Jeanette S.
