Who This Workshop Is For Beginners curious about fiber arts Teens & adults. 11+; Anyone who enjoys tactile, calming, hands-on creativity
A great intro to felting before wet-felting project In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to create a needle-felted soap using soft wool roving and a bar of natural soap. Needle-felted soap is both beautiful and functional, the wool gently exfoliates as you use it, naturally shrinks with the soap, and helps extend the life of your bar.
We’ll begin with a short demonstration of basic needle-felting techniques, safety tips, and design ideas. Then you’ll choose your wool colors and create your own custom design, abstract patterns, simple shapes, or nature-inspired motifs all work beautifully.
No prior experience is needed. This is a slow, mindful, and satisfying process that’s perfect for beginners and seasoned makers alike.
✨ Each participant will leave with: 2 completed needle-felted soaps; A basic understanding of needle felting; Care instructions for using and maintaining felted soap
