Felted Soap Workshop
Thursday, June 22 - 2 p.m. – 4 p.m.
Taught by Susan Wheelersburg
Felted soap is simply a bar of soap that is wrapped in colorful wool fibers. In this fun, sudsy workshop you will use the wet felting technique where the strands of wool fiber that surround the soap shrink and cling to the bar of soap as you soak and rub the fibers in soapy water. The results are fantastic!

Weaving Workshop
Thursday, August 10, 2 p.m. – 4 p.m.
Weaving is both relaxing and rewarding and drinking straws make it quick and easy to weave a bookmark or a bracelet. You will use drinking straws along with the over, under, over technique to produce a one-of-a-kind piece. You can customize your piece by adding some beads. Perfect for you to keep or give as a gift!
