FELTED SOAP WORKSHOP
Saturday, February 8th at 1pm

  • Pauline Fabiano from Acorn House Trading Co. in Kensington will teach the basics of making felted wool soap (soap and washcloth all-in-one). Felted soap is not only beautiful, but also great for your skin and for the environment. The felted wool creates a nice gentle exfoliant, plus wool is a naturally antibacterial fiber, so you don’t need to worry about mold or mildew.
  • Workshop participants (ages 10 - adult) will learn the basics of wet-felting and leave with two bars of finished felted soap. Great for gift giving and of course to keep one for yourself. You will choose from a variety of local, colorful wool roving to create your unique bars of soap. Hand crafted soap, in a variety of scents, will be provided. However, please feel free to bring your own bars if you have a preference.
  • Sign-ups at Mary E. Bartlett Library required, asking for a $10 donation per participant.
