MATTAPOISETT — Local fiber artist Chey Soares will teach Mattapoisett residents how to craft their own soapstones of wool and bars of soap. The workshop will take place at the Mattapoisett Free Public Library on Sunday, Feb. 3 from 1:30 to 4 p.m.

Participants will fashion a covering over two bars of body soap using natural Merino sheep undyed wool fibers and wet felt it into permanent loofah cleansing bars with the look of stones for the bath or shower.

All project materials and soaps will be provided. However, if allergic to Yardley soap bring your own two bars, round shaving square edges slightly with a potato peeler before class. Note also that all wool contains lanolin which may cause allergies.

Workshop space is limited and registration is required. Please register by calling 508-758-4171, signing up in the library, or emailing rsmith@sailsinc.org with contact name, phone number, and email.
