Art Workshop
Decoupage Soap
Saturday, Jan. 31
10:00-12:00
Join us for a creative and relaxing hands-on workshop where you’ll transform everyday bar soap into beautiful, gift-ready works of art! In this class, participants will learn how to use decorative napkins and specialty dishwasher-safe decoupage to apply paper designs to bars of soap. You’ll have a choice of seasonal and Valentine-themed napkins/ papers, making this a perfect opportunity to create thoughtful gifts — or something special just for yourself. Each participant will receive:
• Three bars of soap
• A selection of seasonal napkins and decorative papers
• All supplies and step-by-step instruction. No prior crafting experience is needed — just
bring your creativity and enjoy a fun, low-pressure afternoon of artmaking. You’ll leave
with three unique soaps that are as lovely as they are practical.
Class is limited to 10, please call the library to reserve a spot! 207-646-9024
