About the event
Have you ever seen a bar of soap wrapped in wool and wondered what it's for?
Felted soap is a bar of soap covered in natural wool fibers using a wet felting process. The wool acts like a built-in washcloth, creating gentle exfoliation while helping the soap last longer. As you use it, the wool gradually shrinks along with the soap inside, leaving behind a small felted pouch that can be reused for crafts or decorative projects.
In this fun, beginner-friendly workshop, you'll create two felted soap bars and learn the basics of wet felting. Participants may choose from several design styles:
• Realistic Michigan lake stone soaps that look surprisingly like smooth shoreline rocks
• Festive Christmas-in-July color palettes and holiday-inspired designs
• Your own creative patterns, colors, and artistic ideas
