The Art of Everyday Ritual - Made Collectable.
This isn’t a collab — it’s a conversation between art and ritual. Inspired by Antiques Roadshow and the idea that everyday objects can become heirlooms, we created a limited-edition series: The Life of a Cedar Tree in the West Coast Forest.
This partnership introduces 30 exclusive bundles that pair the beauty of handmade ceramic soap dishes with the artistry of small-batch soap bars. Each bundle draws inspiration from the stunning landscapes and natural beauty of the West Coast, making them not only functional but also a celebration of nature and place.
Every ceramic soap dish is hand-shaped, glazed, and finished by Ugly Potters, marked with the artist’s insignia and a unique serial number, then paired with an exclusive Fresh Suds Soapery bar crafted to echo the textures, tones, and quiet strength of cedar.
Only a handful exist. None will ever be made again. It’s not just a soap dish —
it’s Canadian craft in its purest form — tactile, functional, and beautiful enough to outlive the season.
Handcrafted
"Your friendly, Ugly Potters have been busy in the background—rolling up their sleeves for a creative adventure! They dedicated sessions to research and exploration, rolling, shaping, and tweaking piles of clay in search of the perfectly imperfect soap dish."
- Ashley & Maya
Crafted by hand and shaped with intention, this soap dish carries the imprint of a cedar leaf pressed gently into its surface like a fossilized memory of the forest. Each vein of the leaf whispers tales of ancient trees and quiet mornings, grounding your daily routine in nature’s calm.
But this dish isn’t just poetic, it’s practical. The angled drainage design is a clever nod to mountain slopes, guiding water away like a miniature stream, keeping your soap dry and long-lasting. No soggy bars here, just clean lines and clever engineering.
In a workshop scented with possibilities and fresh pine, the soap makers at Fresh Suds Soapery wove a bit of magic into every bar, crafting a soap that feels as if it was born on the forest floor beside the Whispering Cedar dish.
Each limited-edition bar is a marvel—scented in Morning Fir, alive with notes of green needles and deep, resinous cedar that echo the quiet strength of ancient trees. Like the hand-pressed cedar leaf nestled in each dish, these soap bars are uniquely shaped and perfectly matched, designed to rest in harmony with their clay counterpart.
This partnership is a love letter to the West Coast artisan community — a stand for the kind of craftsmanship that defines Canada’s creative spirit. In a world addicted to mass production, this collaboration reminds us that slowness, skill, and story are what truly endure.
Every dish carries the rhythm of the maker’s hands; every bar reflects the calm resilience of our forests. Together, Fresh Suds and Ugly Potters are preserving something worth keeping: objects that mean something — made where meaning still matters.
