In this playful hands-on workshop, participants will create their own uniquely shaped soaps using pre-prepared soap fragments—no chemicals or heating involved, making it safe and accessible for all levels.
After shaping the soap, attendees will learn how to weave a practical hanging cord using simple textile techniques. This process helps participants appreciate small-scale craft, while also creating a functional item to take home.
