For a soap or candle handcrafter in Arizona, this event is like Christmas morning. Organized by a local group of soap makers, the daylong event is the place to network your small business, learn a new skill or purchase supplies.
But we'll admit it: The best part is the free goodies.
For a $55 entrance fee, "soapers" enjoy a day of hands-on demonstrations, door prizes and a product swap, featuring a contest for best in show. Presentations range from tax solutions to essential oils. And lunch is even included!
This year, we learned how to make an aromatherapy cupcake bath bomb, a kids' soap necklace, rose face cream, and a soy candle. Best of all, we brought it all home. You won't see us out of the bathtub 'til next year's event, held each June.
What a nice surprise! Thank You for honoring The Az Gathering with the 2008 Best Of Phoenix - Best Place To Clean Up Award! Every year soap and candle makers have a blast getting together at the gathering. There's always something new .... hope you will join us at the next Az Gathering on Saturday, June 13, 2009!
