A fun, soapy introduction to the magic of felting! Utilize basic wet-felting skills and merino wool to hand-felt a bar of goat milk or olive oil soap. This 'soap in its own washcloth' is naturally anti-microbial and tidy. No more dropping slippery soap in the shower! Colorful success guaranteed. Felted soaps make fantastic and completely novel gifts. Sign up for Sara's Bowls class (right after) for $2 off (call for details)!

Sara Smelt is a British-born contemporary felt artist. Trained as a scientist, her creative side always competed for attention. When she discovered felting, she found something that combined science, art, and a little magic! Traditional felt, created by combining fine layers of sheep wool, is nothing like the synthetic felt squares found at craft stores. 'Real' felt can be shaped, molded and combined with silk and other fabrics to create stunning textures and textiles. Sara is a member of Designing Weavers, a prestigious Los Angeles-based Fiber Art Guild and teaches throughout Southern California. More info at FeltEvolution.com.
