INSTRUCTOR
I am Arricka Harrison of Black Kettle Soap Company. I am the wife of Mark our wonderful and wordy sales guru and mother of 7 children, 6 girls and that 1 little boy. I have been making and selling handcrafted soap since 2005. I studied soap making for 6 years before I ever made one bar. That was way before stick blenders, when you had to spend hours and hours stirring soap and you had to wait weeks before you could use it, and you could still get Red Devil lye at the hardware store. 

Daughter number 3 had eczema really, really bad and we started looking for ways to help her skin. Oatmeal baths turned into bath bombs and they led me to soap making books. I eventually conquered my fear of lye and the rest is history. I learned everything from books and the internet, pre-Youtube.  I had to read every soap making book out there and search for suppliers. I would have loved to just go to a class. A list of good suppliers is priceless.  You can waste a lot of money buying poor quality ingredients or things you really don't need. 

My company, Black Kettle Soap Company is been carried by many specialty retailers around the country, like Lula Mae in Pasadena, CA, Getables in Port Townsend, WA and Blue Elephant in Austin TX. You can also find our products among bigger names like Houston's Central Market and Kat Von D's Wonderland In Los Angeles CA. We are proud members of the Indie Beauty Network and have selling on Etsy since 2006. Most local know us from craft shows around town and our Pop-ups at West Elm.

People often ask me, "Do I cold process or hot process?" Well, I do it all, whatever it takes to get the job done
