September – Secret Swirls (Intermediate)
Secret Swirls are thus named because you can’t see what you are creating until the soap is cut! Done correctly, the results should appear feather-like. This is the soap I created the tutorial!
Our returning sponsor is Baraka Impact. Purchasing from Baraka directly impacts women, families and communities in Ghana. They offer a variety of pure, natural and unrefined oils and butters as well as a wide range of black soap products, food powders, and beautiful handwoven baskets. Community sourced and crafted products from their hands to yours.
They are providing $100 gift certificates for the grand prize winners in each of the competitive categories, as well as the Sponsor’s Choice prize in the bonus category. Second and third place winners in the competitive categories will receive 20% off coupon codes.
Deadlines: Registration September 2-9, submit entries September 16-24, vote for winners September 25-27, winners announced September 28.
October – Groovy Swirls (Beginner)
Guest teacher and creator of the Groovy Swirl is Whitney Schneider of Cheeky Goat Soapery. She will be sharing all the fun ways to create this type of swirl with us!
Our returning sponsor will be Farmer’s Defense! They create game changing garden wear for outdoor work; however, their protective sleeves have become a game changer for soapmakers as they cover your arms quite comfortably and stylishly.
Prize packages TBA!

November – Mandala Designs (Beginner)
We will be exploring multiple techniques for creating mandala designs in our soaps! As a symbol of the cosmos or universe, a traditional mandala is a square containing a circle, and the entire design is symmetrical and balanced. The word mandala itself simply means “circle” in Sanskrit.

The kiss pour is based on an acrylic paint pouring technique. We did this challenge several years ago, but it’s so fun and creates such beautiful results, I thought it was time to bring it back!

Founded in 1996, they have been a resource to makers by providing quality ingredients, technical support, and rapid order processing.
