LEARN TO FELT - Felted Soap

Create @ Blackwattle by spending 3 hours with us for our Felting Soap Workshop. This introduction into soap wool felting will allow you to try the wet wool felting technique. You will learn to understand the temperament of the wool when dry and when wet. It is a lovely therapeutic and sensory experience!

Why do we cover soap with felt? It simply looks beautiful, makes the soap last longer, is naturally anti-microbial and can be used as an instant wash cloth – great for travelling!

• have the chance to work with a range of beautifully hand dyed alpaca wool to create an abstract pattern of your liking covering your soap
• be able to feel different types of wool and gain some basic knowledge - what wool felts and which ones don't, and why
• also get time to meet and hand feed our alpacas and llamas

What to bring:

• please bring your own soap if you have any allergies or preferences

Workshop cost includes:

• mixed fibre to use to cover your soap
• 2 x bars of Dove soap
• morning tea
• tea and coffee
• 10% off all purchases through the farm shop on the day.
