If you’ve been in the soap world for sometime you have heard of Soap Dough. We are fortunate to have Bee Iyata of Sorcery Soaps and author of five books and counting joins us to share her Maker’s Tale and how she got started through a serious of fortunate mistakes. In her quest to make really hard soap she stumbled on her own unique process to create Soap Dough.
From a soap that wouldn’t get hard enough to crashing her website she discusses her Maker’s Tale. Not only does she teach the process but she also created a lane for herself with a line of soap dough, soap stencils and soap stamps. Listen in to learn how she shifted her perspective to harness her strength of service to build a community and business that empowers soap makers to create truly unique creations.
5 Key Takeaways

- “Figure out what you are about and stay with the idea of causing more good than harm in the world”
