What’s it all about?

Felted soap. Never heard of it? Well that's okay. You're in the right place.

This class uses the technique of wet felting to create a felt casing around bars of soap, which becomes a soft soapy sponge when washing.

Wool is a natural fibre which can be felted - synthetics won't work - and the special bonus is that wool is also antibacterial. Encasing soap in this way adds to its use life, without the soap dissolving away.

It's also a useful project for learning about wet felting, which is completely different to needle felting. So come along to another wonderful class with Heather, and personalise your felting project.

What will we cover?

This hands-on workshop will teach:

The basics of wet felting
Different tools, materials, and their purposes
