Making Soap in Point Richmond

Large Batch/Production Soapmaking with David at the Nova Studio.

Brooke and I spent a weekend learning advanced techniques of soap design, hot process and going into production. We may have found some ideas for teaching soapmaking to Ethiopians with minimal resources...and we definitely got big ideas for making all kinds of soap in our homes.

Searching for Snow

We spent the last night of Christmas Vacation at the Zermatt in Midway...where there was no snow.

Where are you snow?
