CULTURE AND ITS CREATORS
THE ART OF CARE
with Yael
An introduction to Yael’s world of natural ingredients, scent and making by hand in Costa Rica..
MEET YAEL
_________For Yael, making soap began with curiosity: she wanted to try creating something herself at home. What held her attention was the process: choosing ingredients, experimenting with recipes and discovering how each decision changed the finished bar.
Today her work spans soaps, candles, ceramics and scent. From her base in Las Delicias de Cóbano, she develops her own soap recipes, working with oils, butters and clays, testing and adjusting as she goes.
There is a personal pleasure in this work. Yael describes making soap as something she returns to through different moods and moments in her life. Her workshops invite others into that process: a chance to work alongside her, ask questions and discover the satisfaction of turning separate ingredients into something you can hold and use.

Why Yael?
The interest lies in following a material through different forms: an oil considered as an ingredient, a scent explored through blending, a finished preparation experienced through touch.
With Yael, the conversation and the making become part of the experience itself.
