THE MAKER
Made at the intersection of art and nature.
I’m Suzie, the artist and maker behind Aster + Ash.
My background is in art and design, and soap became another way to work with the things I have always been drawn to—color, composition, texture and the natural world.
Each bar begins with an idea rather than a formula for a collection. A landscape, a fragrance, a memory, even a particular color can become the starting point. From there, I experiment with botanical infusions, clays, fragrance and design until the bar feels like the thing I imagined.
Aster + Ash is intentionally small. The soaps are made by hand in limited batches, with the variations and imperfections that come from making something rather than manufacturing it.
