The lecture will highlight key aspects of the History of Soap-Making and Bathing in Russia.

It will shed light on the origins and techniques of the “art” of making soap starting from medieval times and leading up to the present.

But is making soap an art or a science?

The answer is somewhat subjective, and the lecture will cover both aspects of the process.

As part of the science behind the manufacturing of soap, an overview of the health benefits of using natural hygiene products, and what characteristics distinguish them from the rest, will be included.

From the artistic perspective, various color, texture, and aromatic combinations will be discussed to give a sense of the breadth of possibilities when something as utilitarian as soap takes on an artistic quality.

You can see samples of products on Instagram or Facebook #FinistDesign.

Products will be available for purchase after the lecture.
