We use soap every day, but where does it come from? Patricia Fielding, owner of Rainy Creek Soap, explains the basic process of soap-making and how anyone can do it in their own home. With just two basic ingredients and a little time, anyone can make their own hand-made soap, which Fielding says has a feel you won’t get anywhere else. Fielding discovered this feel in 1996 when she bought a rough-cut, hand-made bar of soap in a ceramics shop. She liked it so much, she decided to learn to make it for herself. The process is surprisingly simple and can be done in your home.

This is a story that was sitting right under my nose. When I was deciding what to do for this story, Bro. Bennett assigned us to write a magazine article, and that assignment made me think of Patti and her soap company. I then realized that I could record the interviews and tour on video and do a video story as well. This was a relief to me since I was really short on time that weekend.
