In this special holiday class, students will learn the basics of soap making! Working with local soap maker, Genipha Backoulou, students will caste their own soap bars, choosing from an array of ingredients and decorations. They will go home with 2 to 3 unique bars of hypoallergenic soap that can be used by them or given as gifts. 

In this class, students will experiment with two types of felting; needle felting and wet felting. For the first project, they will wet felt a bar of soap.  The soap is covered with a layer of felt which they will decorate with colorful pieces of wool.  The finished soap serves as both soap and washcloth and the felted layer continues to shrink as the soap is used. Students will also be able to needle felt at least one holiday ornament using colors and shapes of their choice.  These items make great gifts or they can be kept and used for their own holiday decorations.

Using Natalie Wargin's painting as inspiration, students will create a snowy owl in flight deep in the forest!  Our forest will be painted in acrylic and our snowy owl will be a beautiful watercolor collage. This is a step by step class, ensuring every student's success!
