Pop-up markets in Pittsburgh

We will be at the Garfield and Squirrel Hill night markets in Pittsburgh this summer and fall. At these markets we will be offering select items from our classic and beer soap line as well as from our new Greenline. 

The awesome little sink! YES, it works :)

To make our booth even more fun we have an awesome little sink that you can use to test products! It was a BIG HIT at the first market of the season in Garfield and we cannot wait for more people to come out and check it out. 

Reusable face scrubbies available in pink and
blue flannel with a terry cloth backing.

Additionally we are continually creating partnerships with other eco friendly makers and will have their wares available at the our booth this summer too. Our first partnership is with Paige Leigh Designs. These ladies make awesome facial scrubbies that are a soft terry cloth on one side and a wonderful flannel on the other, they fit nicely into the palm of my hand and are completely washable for many, many re-uses. We are proud to be able to offer this product to our tribe here in Pittsburgh, PA.

As we forge new relationships we will announce them and very happily make them available at the markets for all to enjoy.

See you soon!

RAW Natural Born Artist Show

We have been plugging away over here in the studio and one fine

day while adding a fresh coat of (recycled) paint to the walls I got a call asking if I wanted to be a featured artist in an upcoming show? Well I thought, this sounds kind of neat! While I have always thought of my soaps as usable art I didn't realize that others may as well.

We checked into the organization a little bit and decided to go for it, why not?!? It is with great excitement that I announce that we will be a featured artist at the end of this month in Pittsburgh! We are both humbled and excited about being able to showcase our creations in such a cool way. 

So what is RAW? It is a show that is in cities all over the country and gives new and emerging artists a chance to be discovered. This show includes musicians, performance artists, fashion designers, photographers, jewelery and other accessories designers as well we us, the Soapsmiths!

We have been working like crazy in the studio (yes, I stopped painting immediately!) to make products, make sure our packaging is up to snuff, update product photos (they need to look art show ready you know.) and we are even working on a super artsy feeling booth for our wares. While this is a lot of work it is also really fun to be able to think of our soaps as little pieces of art.

If you are reading this and live in Pittsburgh or will be in Pittsburgh at the end of February come on out and check this event out. 

We have a sweet profile up on their page which you should take a peek at: http://rawartists.org/soapsmithspgh tickets can also be purchased through this link. 

We will continue to update on what we are up to with this neat opportunity and hope to see you there!
