Hi friend,

We recently got a call from a customer who has been on our email newsletter for a few years. She had tried making soap from scratch before from videos on YouTube, and had several failed batches under her belt. When she called, she told us about her interest in making soap using cows’ milk. I told her where to go on our website to see some free Video Clips, our Handy Docs, our Blog (to search for particular topics of interest), and when she was ready, to check out the CP101 Video eClass with Ruth, which includes Lori’s Class Handouts & trusted recipe. She was excited to start learning “the right way.” We suggested, after she got 1-2 successful batches under her belt with our recipe & methods, we have additional resources (handouts) for making milk soaps by Ruth & Kenna. She enthusiastically said “I knew you closed your physical studio a few years back, but I had NO IDEA you had all these amazing resources still available!” So… obviously we need to do a better job of letting people know what we have available! We are working on a map of sorts, to guide students in their possible maker journeys. In the meantime, for those new to soapmaking, check out the links in this paragraph above.

In this newsletter, learn all about the free (for everyone, all the time!) Handy Docs that you & download, print, & use over and over. Find them all HERE or read on to find out what's available.

If you’re unsure what resources we have for your specific needs, we’re always here to help! Feel free to reach out.

Let's keep learning together,
Cassie & all the TNS Teachers
