Felted Soap
with Carolyn Bender
This is a fun class that doesn't require any special skills! You will make a felted bar of soap using simple wet felting and needle felting techniques with wool to create an all-in-one soap and washcloth. Felted soap has many benefits over a separate bar of soap, washcloth or scrubby. Because felted soap is encased in a felted wool covering, the soap lasts longer, is easier to handle, wool has exfoliating properties and is naturally antimicrobial. It's a fun way to bring decorative flair in your bathroom or kitchen too! We will be working with water so bring a towel. Supplies are included however bring your favorite bar of soap
