Hollis-Brookline Middle SchoolMindful Making: Felted Soap Bars
This interactive session with Homestead Manager Ali Farquhar shows how to wrap a bar of soap in soft wool sourced locally and felt it into a sturdy bar that cleans while providing gentle exfoliation. The program covers how fiber, water, and movement work together in the felting process and explores using native plants to create natural dyes for wool. If conditions allow, part of the making will take place outdoors. The session concludes with a visit with the resident animals, Bramble, Merribelle, and Skye, whose fleece provides the fiber for this project. A felted soap bar is simply soap encased in wool roving and felted so it becomes a durable, built-in scrub surface that lathers through the wool and removes the need for a separate washcloth or loofah. The wool has antimicrobial properties, offers a secure grip, and is long lasting. As the soap is used the wool covering shrinks along with it, and when the soap is gone the remaining pouch can be reused as a small scrubby and is biodegradable, supporting a zero waste approach. Participants are encouraged to bring a favorite bar of soap to personalize their piece. Advance registration is required. The fee is $40, with a 10 percent discount for BBA Members.
