Atolye Patika, founded by artist and herbalist Emine Boyner in 2013, is a sanctuary that encompasses the realms of multidisciplinary visual arts, heirloom crafts, and the exploration of herbal medicine. It serves as a haven for those seeking to connect with nature's healing powers and engage in artistic expression.
Within Atolye Patika, a labor of love unfolds as small-batch aromatherapy cold process soaps are handcrafted using ecologically conscious ingredients. The focus is on nurturing both the human body and the planet, with utmost care and consideration. Emine, accompanied by two talented young women, Ceren and Seda, embarks on a journey of creating healing and cosmetic blends that capture the essence of medicinal plants, illuminating the spirit and providing herbal love and care. These herbal products are lovingly known as "Cadi Kazani," meaning "The Witch's Cauldron" in Turkish.
Beyond the realm of herbal products, Atolye Patika is a space where Emine channels her artistic vision. Here, she crafts one-of-a-kind clay works, drawings, and paintings infused with the essence of herbal inks that she personally harvests and creates.
