Join us for a hands-on, crafty experience where you'll learn the relaxing and rewarding process of felting wool around a bar of soap. In this class, you'll create a unique, functional, and beautifully textured soap that’s perfect for exfoliating. We’ll start by wet felting wool around two bars of soap, then, you’ll get creative with needle felting to add a decorative design on top of one of your wet felted soaps, making it as colorful and personalized as you like!
For this workshop, please bring 2 bars of soap, a bath towel, and a 16oz water bottle with a sports top (this will be your handy tool to help with the felting process!). Whether you're new to felting or a seasoned crafter, this class is a fun and relaxing way to learn a new skill and leave with a beautiful, functional creation—perfect for yourself or as a thoughtful gift.
Wool roving, felting needles, towels, and all other supplies will be provided.
Level 1: No experience required. Minimum age 10.

From sitting on the floor, untangling my mom's fair aisle yarns at age 4, via knitting on her lap, then trying almost every technique available in elementary school through 10 sweaters in high school, it brought me to enjoy fiber arts more than ever after our daughters were born. I have made my own designs and patterns for many years and most patterns are stored in my head or on little note pads around the fiber art studio.
I enjoy all sorts of fiber work; knit, crochet, needle point, hairpin lace, sewing, but most of all, I love to do felting, especially art felting…Learn more about Randi here.
