Fred Carpenter demonstrates small-batch soap making. Stacked under the table are wooden molds. On the back wall are the oils (top shelf), essential oils (middle shelf) and pigments (lower shelf).
Carpenter leans on the oil mixing vat; next to him are 30 pound bars. In the foreground are the bars prior to being sliced, but are also available for sale as is.
The colorful handmade papers used to wrap Summer House Soaps tell a story along with the name of the soap.
