Join us for a hands-on field trip where we’ll explore the ancient art of wet felting! In this simple and satisfying process, we’ll wrap raw wool fibers around soap bars and smooth river stones, then use warm water and gentle friction to transform them into beautiful, functional works of art.
Felted soap makes a lovely natural exfoliator, and the felted wool helps the soap last longer. Felted stones are grounding to hold and make beautiful natural objects or gifts.
We will:
Learn the basics of wet felting
Create your own felted soap bar or felted river stone
Choose from a variety of colorful wool roving
Take home a useful, handmade item infused with warmth and intention
What to Bring:
A bar of soap you love
Lunch if you would like to picnic
All felting materials are provided.
