Hand-poured in Pinole Valley, CA in collaboration with Tonic Naturals Luscious soap and unique shapes, form and function work together to add a different kind of beauty to the daily ritual of bathing. Created with an abundance of unique botanicals, antioxidants, mineral rich clays, and skin-nurturing essential oils to cleanse, hydrate & nourish all skin types. Perfect for daily use. Each Erode Summit is poured and cast by hand. As each batch is unique for each pour, no two are the same. Use: Brush wet hands or cloth over the soap's surfaces to create, lather, release the aromatic essential oils and reveal the changing slopes. As the soaps use and form are unique, the Bouton plate was designed hand in hand to serve as the Erode Summit's designated dish.

100% Beeswax, Frankincense essential oil, Organic Hemp wick and coloring. Sold with a white oak tray. This large scale candle is less about its shape than the way it burns, fast at first, revealing dramatic peaks and ridges, then very slowly as the wax spills out drawing convoluted motifs around it in an evocation of volcanic landscapes.

This year, we have been experimenting with wax and casting techniques. The Candle Pit...
