Soapmaking is the perfect union of chemistry and craft. And making soap at home allows soapmakers of all levels to transform the functional into the fantastic. In Soap Crafting, The Soap Queen (a.k.a. Anne-Marie Faiola) shows how to make beautiful handmade soap through full-colour step-by-step visual instructions and 31 recipes that make it easy to navigate the process. The Soap Queen makes cold-process soapmaking safe and accessible while inviting creative crafters to explore the full range of special effects that can be achieved in a bar of soap. With chapters on using colours like neon, oxides and mica; moulds including milk jugs, yoghurt containers and PVC pipe; additives such as coffee, oatmeal and clay; and moulding techniques like embedding, funnel pour and swirling, this is the one-stop resource for soapmakers of any level.

Industry Reviews

"Twenty years ago, Faiola made her first batch of soap. What began as a hobby turned into a successful business selling both handmade soap and soapmaking supplies. In her first book, Faiola provides a comprehensive guide to producing cold-process soap. After a brief overview of the chemistry of soapmaking, she dives into supplies and safety and provides a basic recipe for crafters who can't wait to get started. Once novices have a few batches of soap under their belts, they can try one of the 30 variations described. Each recipe includes step-by-step directions and photographs. Further information, including videos of the soapmaking process, is available at the author's website.VERDICTFaiola's enthusiasm for her subject is apparent, and with her guidance, beginners will easily take to this craft."
--Library Journal
