On Dec. 10 you can learn the art of wet felting by making felted soap in this hands-on workshop, perfect for kids and adults alike! Felted soap not only looks fantastic, its wool coat helps soap last longer, makes slippery bars easier to handle, gently exfoliates the skin, and can replace a washcloth or bath pouf in the shower. This course includes all the supplies necessary to make two bars of felted soap.
