In a wooden cabin tucked away at the bottom of her leafy garden, Katherine creates beautiful hand-thrown ceramics. Every piece is unique, and a style we instantly fell in love with.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Botanical Soap: For longer lasting soap keep the bars dry and in a well drained position in-between uses, and away from direct streams of running water.
Shampoo Bar: Simply lather up in the shower and run the bar through your hair. Leave in for 2-3 minutes and wash out. That's it!
Konjac Sponge: The sponge will be hard when dry so rinse before use and squeeze a few times until it softens. Massage into skin in circular motions either on its own or with a small amount of cleanser. Rinse sponge after use and hang to dry.
It will last up to 3 months with daily use then just dispose of it in your compost (or normal bin if you don't have a compost).
When dried it is approx. 7.5cm Diameter, 3cm height. When wet the sponge will expand and take its own softer shape.
Ceramic Soap Dish: Please keep in mind that Katherine’s ceramics are all handmade so sizes are approximate and some variations in form and glaze makes each piece unique.
Gift Card: 1. Choose an appropriate spot to plant your seeded paper (see details below)
2. Plant the paper (a single layer is best) under 3-5mm of quality soil.
3. Water thoroughly.
4. Ensure the seeded paper is kept moist throughout the germination period.
5. Keep protected from extreme weather if outside.
Oregano is a culinary herb. It prefers well-draining soil in full sun and can grow to a height of around 30cm. While it can tolerate cool conditions, it should be protected from frosts. Planting is best done when conditions are warmer. Germination in warm conditions usually occurs in approximately 7 to 14 days. It can be grown in containers.
Seeds are interspersed throughout the seeded paper. So feel free to tear it up and plant in several different places around your garden, or in multiple pots. If using soil from garden shops we recommend using new seed raising mix to plant your seeded paper in. The best advice we can give regarding planting your seeded paper is to keep it moist throughout the germination period. If the seeded paper is allowed to dry out after its initial watering, it may contract slightly and damage delicate seedlings which may have begun to sprout.

Naturally coloured with French Red Clay, Turmeric, Green Tea, Charcoal or Pure white. They are perfect for all skin types and suitable for delicate skin as they are a gentle exfoliator. However each colour has unique properties from the natural ingredient they are coloured with. If you have a particular skin type, we recommend choosing based on the following guide;
PURE WHITE – For Sensitive or All skin types with no added extras. It gently cleanses and soothes the skin by removing dirt and oil without damaging the skin and naturally restoring the pH level.
CHARCOAL – For Oily, acne prone and problematic skin. Bamboo Charcoal contains activated carbon and essential minerals to deeply cleanse the lower dermal layers and absorb excess sebum and grime, effectively treating and preventing spots, blackheads and breakouts.
GREEN TEA – For Combination, UV Damaged or Dry skin. Green tea is known for it's antioxidants that help protect the skin from damaging effects. Its nourishing and moisturising properties are great for UV damage, computer radiation or anti-ageing as it helps repair, moisten and soften the skin.

Leaving the skin radiant, hydrated and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and broken capillaries. It can also help treat Rosacea.
TURMERIC – For Mature skin. Turmeric has incredible anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory qualities with a boost of antioxidants.

Ceramic Soap Dish: These are made from Australian materials bought from an Australian clay supplier and glazed with recipes of Katherine's own making. No clay is wasted as any offcuts are simply soaked down before being reconstituted into a workable state. Then the clay is rolled out like pastry ready to cut the shapes. I love the humanity of each one being slightly different and sometimes revealing the marks of the maker.
