- There's no right way to scale up your business, but this is what I've settled on over the years, how I translate a design from a sample loaf to mass production soap making, how I split the batches, as well as I how I cure.

Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay's kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay's grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone's love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.
Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound's 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.
Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride - she'll take you on a great one.

How to get a membership Miss soap and clay
I want to be a combination of you and Krystina when I grow up! Oh wait… I’m older than you both
😂good one 😂
8-10 molds! wowza, I'm having a hard enough time with just four of these bad bois. Holy canoli
I generally use a slab for big batches but that also depends on the design. If i have to do an angled design then yep loaf molds lol.
Same same! I do love a tall and skinny and really want a tall and skinny triple slab. But this year, I asked for the family to pool funds to get me the caterpillar log splitter/bar cutter for Christmas. So… I’ll have to see if I get some birthday money so I can buy myself that mold. 😊

Yay okapi soaps!! It's my favorite time of the year! I love watching you make them so much 😍
Thank you!
Looks like bulk soaping is so much fun. .. thanks always for sharing.
It was me! Thank you so much! Whenever I get my butt back up to WA we’ll have to get together and I can attempt to film the big batch without missing anything! Haha! Thank you so much for doing this! I seriously just couldn’t wrap my head around it, but splitting the oils in half and mixing the second batch halfway through makes sense. I mean, I’m not doing 200 bars at a time at this point, but I think I may need to double my batches going forward. It might mean I don’t have the same variety as I currently do, but I think on a simplifying processes vain, it’s probably what I need to do. Currently, there are several soaps and products I don’t have up on the site because I don’t like updating the site and it take so long. I don’t like writing copy for descriptions. It’s not really in my wheelhouse. Then there’s all the other things to include, taking and editing photos, etc, etc. I just want to make! Haha! Thank goodness for AI! At least for writing descriptions that don’t end up sounding exactly the same from one soap to the next.
Those soaps are so cool and can see the okapi inspiration for it. Very creative!
Thanks again!
I'm just now moving from silicone 9 bar molds to 16ish wood molds. I do have a couple of slab molds that I purchased from someone destashing I'm saving for the next step up. Love ya!❤
I do my big batches in a 17.5x17.5 slb mold that makes 85 bars.
I love this look! Awesome video❣️
I use do loaf molds for the very same reason -- You cannot pull me away from a soap until I've sculped the top. Flat tops give me anxiety. And I also hate having to measure and cut based on a slab. Love your videos!
These are beautiful!
Thanks!
Love you 🥰
Where do you get those molds!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Hey! Mr makes all my molds. These particular ones are made from MDF, which is not the best wood for this project but we had a bunch of leftovers from other projects taking up space in the garage so I insisted. 😂
