About Us
Lucia Apollo Shaw
The Soap Maker-in-Chief
Lucia is the proprietor and chief soap maker for the qi garden. Lucia is a gardener and her soaps are inspired by nature. She designs each piece and then a silicone mold is hand carved for each soap. Her soaps are a detergent free, shea butter base and scented with essential oils.
Batches are made in small, 2 pound batches to maximize the scent throw. The scent should last at least 10-12 months if the soap is not used. You may custom order scent and color. She usually designs 1-2 new pieces each year.
The Qi Garden is now a studio workspace. You may purchase soaps online 24/7 or in NC at the following locations:
Once and Again Consignment Gallery www.onceagaindurham.com
The NC Museum of Art (Raleigh) www.ncartmuseum.org
The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts www.hillsboroughartscouncil.org
