Description
Learn how to make your own felted soap! Felted soap lasts longer and helps exfoliate as it cleans. Using locally made soaps and wool from our own Billings Farm & Museum sheep, Tiana will walk participants through the processes of both wet felting and needle felting to make a charming and sustainable product. Try out new skills, embrace your creativity, and have some good, clean fun!
A Q&A period with the presenter may continue for up to 30 minutes past the scheduled end time.
Billings Backyard is a series of workshops designed to teach sustainable living skills to adult participants and is underwritten by a generous grant from the SpringRiver Private Foundation Trust. Each workshop includes hands-on demonstrations and concrete steps for incorporating these skills into everyday life. Find more Billings Backyard Series workshops
This workshop will be held at Billings Farm & Museum.
