Bio/Artist Statement
Asheville’s Elke Spirakis, now in her 18th year of making her Wellsprings Farms Soaps – an all natural soap product – handcrafted in small batches using olive, coconut, palm and vegetable oils, spring water and quality fragrance oils. Elke never uses any artificial colors or preservatives.
Elke hand-cuts each the bars and lets them age for four to six weeks. Because of her traditional soap-making methods, the natural glycerine in each bar is retained, resulting in soap that is kind to the skin.
