Felted Soap Making workshop @ Black Gully Festival

Felting is an ancient craft that was used prior to loofahs or washcloths for bathing and improving the condition of the skin. Using felted soap it is possible to get a creamy lather whilst conserving the bar of soap so it lasts longer. The felted wool is exfoliating and has antimicrobial properties. The felted layer shrinks with the soap and can be used for other purposes or composted after use. The felt makes gripping the bar or soap much easier, saving on chasing the bar around the bathroom and, in between uses, the felt dries out saving on cleaning residues left by the sink.

For adults and children of all ages a Felted Soap Making Workshop will be running @ Black Gully Festival from 1:30pm to 3:30pm at the Sustainable Living and Climate Action workshop tent- drop in anytime and make one of these beautiful treasures -maybe as a gift for that special someone for the festive season.
