As a felter I use a lot of soap and constantly have my hands in warm water. A mild bar of soap is so important.

I have been making my own soap for many years. I used to sell it at craft fairs when the kids were young – it was a great success at school fairs and fairs as a popular money raiser! I also taught soaping workshops. Now I just make it for family and friends.

I still have all my notes and handouts from the soaping workshops – so, with time on my hands during the current lock down, I have put them to work again in an online Soap Making Workshop
