The ashery is a workshop used to make lye, potash, and milk of lime. To build an ashery, you need a block*, a barrel, a bucket, and someone with the potash making or lye making labor enabled.

(* Notably, this is distinct from most other workshops, in that you cannot use a rough stone to build an ashery, it must be a block of some sort.)

Lye is one of the main ingredients for soap, which is used for cleaning wounds and the fortress, while milk of lime is used to make parchment sheets out of raw animal skins for the paper industry. Potash is used for fertilizing farms, allowing an increased output of plants, as well as for the creation of pearlash, necessary for clear glass and crystal glass.
