This multi-sensory soap was made during an artist residency at Touchstone Center for Crafts, using unconventional materials for aroma formulation, using invasive plants for colorant, handmade embed and embossing molds, making a hydrosol and herbal extract. It was a wonderful experience to explore these materials freely, listen more deeply to nature, advocate for native plant restoration, and be receptive to change and movement.
The moody, forest petrichor aroma lingers, while the moisturizing lather lasts all day. As with most of our products, this botanical representation in an everyday consumer product is designed to spark meaningful thought and conversation about our ephemeral moment with the environment.
Our ecosystem relies on the intersection of sun and shade; clay and moss; inertia and inspiration. This design features a handcut linoleum transfer, botanically illustrate the native Eastern Hemlock leaves, and depict flowing water at the bottom of each bar.
As with most of our products, this botanical representation is an everyday consumer product is designed to spark meaningful thought about equity in both conservation and preservation narratives. A portion of the proceeds will go towards Touchstone’s Center for Craft Scholarship Program.
Please note there are 2 sizes available due to the unique handcut nature of this product. Each bar is slightly different, part of the larger batch, and like you: part of nature.
