I am a third generation soap maker, founder of the Wild Rose Soap Co. in Shepherdstown, WV. My business is named after my Grandmother Rosie Wild, specializing in cold process soaps made with over 50 percent local ingredients. I’m organzing a “Handmade by Heart in WV Tour” in September 2016 and would love to connect with other artists who may be interested in participating. I also teach soap making classes and am organizing our third “Crafts & Drafts” fine arts and crafts show at the Town Run Brewing Company in Shepherdstown.
I am self-taught with 10 years of experience in soap making and five years of experience teaching soap making around the Washington, DC area and Eastern Panhandle. I have an ADN Nursing: Registered Nurse, worked in pediatric oncology and transplant hospice for 10 years, before launching into full time entrepreneur life with my Wild Rose Soap Co. business.
