3a. Wetfelting: let’s make soap squares

When we were on our walk we will have seen lots of interesting shapes and colours and collected some interesting things.

Using Wetfelting we will make felt squares filled with soap that can be used for your everyday handwashing.

3b. Wetfelting: let’s make a bowl for our collections

Tue 13 August, 2-4pm
This is the same as morning session, but we’re making a felt bowl instead of felt soap squares.
