Spent a wonderful day of listening to and learning from Zahida Map (Handmade in Florida), Jackie Thompson (author of "Liquid Soapmaking: Tips, Techniques, and Recipes for Creating All Manner of Liquid and Soft Soap Naturally!"), and Dr. Kevin Dunn ("Scientific Soapmaking"). I'm waiting for my brain to explode from all the information I've gleaned so far, and tomorrow is another day! On the schedule tomorrow is Beth Byrne (Lotions and Creams), and Carrie Thornsbury of Nurture Soap Supplies (Mica and Color).
This is such a well put-together event in a great venue. Best of all, it a relatively small group (I'd say about 100 people), so there is really a chance to interact and ask questions. Just sharing info with other soapers has made it worth the trip, and the vendors have been generous with the things they've given us in our "swag bags".
Congrats to Catherine McGinnis (The Soap Deli) on a beautiful event! It's obvious that you've put a lot of time and thought into planning.
