Who's Ready for Another Epic Soap Swap?

Do you love everything about soap? The scents, smells, bubbles handmade with luxurious ingredients and insane artistic craftsmanship? We do too, which is why we're organizing another Soap Swap (and the crowd goes wild). It's an opportunity to showcase your soapmaking skills and a chance to enjoy soap made by fellow soapmakers in our tight-knit community. The very first Soap Swap we organized was right before Christmas and it was a hit! We had over 100+ people participate (jaw dropping). We were up to our knees in soap and loved every minute of it. Now we're jonesing for round two!

Check out the round up of our last Soap Swap here and more Soap Swap examples here.

Here are the Details

Who can participate? Anyone! You do not have to be a professional soapmaker or vastly experienced. Just do the best you can. International soapmakers are welcome, too. They shipping charges will be a little more than for the domestic swappers, but we are happy to ship swap boxes anywhere. In fact, we already have participants form France, Sweden, and Australia.
