Judy Balsavich

Teaches at Cook Space

Ever since she was a little girl, Judy Balsavich has been making beautiful things with her hands. Her passion for arts and crafts started with doll making at age 10 and progressed through the years with experience in a number of different artistic pursuits. Having settled into a career as a retail manager, Judy had always yearned to branch out on her own and start her own business. It wasn’t until she stumbled upon a soap making kit one day at the crafts store that she realized her true passion. 

That first simple DIY kit led to an all out pursuit of everything she could find on the art of handmade soap making. Thus led to her launching her business, SunGold Soaps, located in San Diego. Her line of products include Soap Bars, Shampoo Bars, Sugar Scrubs, Bath Salts, Men’s Shaving products, Candles, Lip Balms, Lotion Bars, Salt Bars, and, of course, Bath Bombs!
