Soap With a Story
Inside a partially abandoned warehouse on Pickard Road, the fragrant scent of essential oils fills the air of a small but colorful room. Dried plants hang from the ceiling and a rack lined with rows of soap bars, each one unique, sits in the center of the room. This is where Sarah Stevens, owner of Love That Soap, spends much of her time. Love That Soap is a handmade soap business in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. However, the business wasn’t always hers. Her father, Dave Pety, started Love That Soap after he was laid off. Video by Ella Miller
Weaving Art With Mentorship
Nestled in the serene woods of Shepherd, Michigan, you can find the Barstow home. Donated to CMU in 1992, the property features an organic, natural design and overlooks the Chippewa River. Katie Mongoven, the 2024-25 Barstow Artist-in-Residence, can often be found in the nearby studio, working on hand-dying fabric, beading, weaving or embroidery.
Every day looks different for Mongoven, who is a Chinese American artist from Washington, D.C. Sometimes she fills her days practicing her art, while others are spent preparing and teaching workshops or giving artist talks.
