Proceeds will be donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County. Limited space is available to the reception.

After the reception, Anne-Marie will do a free author presentation in the VB Readings Gallery. Come listen to her discuss her book and soap-making techniques. 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-color step-by-step visual instructions and 31 recipes that make it easy to navigate the process. New techniques and effects will keep experienced soapmakers creating ever more distinctive soaps, while beginners will have no problem successfully making their first batch. This book is the one stop resource for soapmakers of all skill levels.

Anne-Marie Faiola is the owner of BrambleBerry, a company that sells soapmaking supplies in Bellingham and online at www.brambleberry.com. She is known as the Soap Queen and has a dedicated YouTube page where she offers how-to videos.
