Q&A with La Shonda Tyree, Owner/Lead Instructor

How is your approach different than that of other professionals in your field?

Hands-on classes, and small class sizes.

Do you or your staff have any special certifications or degrees?

I'm a certified advanced soap-maker.

What aspect of your job, or the services you offer, most often surprises people?

That I make and teach soap-making full time. And many people are surprised to learn that there is actually a fragrance for soap called "monkey farts."

Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?

The building the classes are held in is a reclaimed WWII dry dock which has been renovated to house creative and maker businesses.
