Second Day - The Nova Studio
The second day of learning at the NOVA Studio was very exciting! (I can't wait to tell you about it.)
After a full nights sleep I was ready to learn "Hot Process". Hot process allows soap makers to create soap safely without waiting the full 6 weeks for the soap bars to cure. Technically they are safe to use after only 55 minutes. WOW!!
Our first soap was a delicious smelling lemongrass and spice colored with yellow lab color. I can't wait to buy some lemongrass fragrance and experiment.
After lunch the second half of the day was taught by David Critchfield of Mission Peak Soap. I was very excited about meeting David because I purchase supplies from him but never had the opportunity to meet him. David's presentation was "Big Batch". He produced 144 bars of soap in one batch. David was extraordinarily knowledgeable about the chemical make up of oil and other interesting topics.
Both Lori and David are excellent instructors and I would recommend this class to anyone serious about soap making. I appreciated the amount of work and detail that was put into the lecture, hand outs and the presentations.
Now it is time to take what I have learned to put it into action. Tonight I plan to use what I learned a make some soap that is sellable.
More to come on how it turns out.
Yeah Soap!

NOVA Studio - 2 Day Boot Camp
Today was the first day of the 2-day boot camp held by Lori Nova owner of the NOVA studio. We learned the basics of "Cold Process" in the Cold Process 101 class. After the lunch break with moved on to the very exciting Swirling and Layering in the Cold Process 201 class.
The class consisted of students traveling from near and far. Students traveled to learn from Lori Nova from El Salvador, New York, and Canada. We also had several local soap making students.
Lori is an excellent teacher and very precise in her instructions. Two of her soaps won awards at the annual Soap Maked Guild Conference. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to learn from the best!
I look forward to tomorrow when we move on to "Hot Process" and "Big Batch" soap making!

Yellow Calendula Soap
Calendula is also know as pot marigold and has a long history as an herbal medical plant. Calendula contribues to wound healing and general skin soothing.
The best part about calendula is that it's beautiful yellow petals that will not dicolor when combined with handmade soaps!
