HSCG Conference Reminder
As a Shay maker, do you know all of you can benefit from the HSCG (Handcrafted Soap and Cosmetic Guild)? This is an organization that is about all makers-soap, candles, skincare and hair care. Not just soap makers, as so many people think!
HSCG is both an excellent resource for all makers, plus they are advocates for all makers rights. They lobby on behalf of all the small to medium sized makers, getting your voices heard at the highest levels.
The HSCG website has extensive information about being a maker, including classes and various certifications (again, for more than just soap making!)
This years conference is in Reno, and is so close we would love to flood it with Shay Makers! This is such an excellent time to connect with other makers from all over the US, plus there are classes al day to help expand your knowledge base and skill set. The best part is, you DO NOT have to be an HSCG member in order to attend the conference. You can just go and learn, then decide if you want to be supported by the HSCG.
For all Shay Makers there is a discount code for 15% off conference attendance!! Yes, 15% off! That is awesome. You just enter code 25RENOSC15 at checkout to have it apply. Code is good until April 21st.
We will be there and would love to meet so many Shay Makers!!
