Meet a Featured Artist - Brown Rice Family

Shortly after I decided to make The Art of Soap, I stumbled upon this video on Etsy.  It gave me butterflies!  I was more determined than ever to contact artists like the Brown Rice Family and tell the world about them.  Their soaps will be featured, and Yuichi wrote a wonderful essay about his inspiration and travels for the book.  They are so passionate and it shows in everything they do.

  6. The soapingredience and the work looks wonderful, in germany you wouldn´t be able to sell one soap if people saw the video. Sad somehow as here all need s to be made in a hyginic kitchen, no animals allowed near, aou cannot produce at home...no way
    I think your soap is unique and lovely
