Christmas Salt Dough - Session 1

Christmas Salt Dough kicks off at Worthing Homes Community House on Thursday 5 November, the first of two sessions for this Christmas craft workshop. It runs from 10:00am to 12:00pm, so you'll be in and out before lunch.

If you've never worked with salt dough, it's exactly what it sounds like: a simple mixture of salt, flour and water that you knead into a dough, shape by hand, and then bake until hard. It's one of those old-school crafts that's easy to get into, and because it's salt dough, you're working with things you've probably already got in your kitchen cupboard. The Christmas theme gives you a starting point, so you'll be making decorations for the tree or little ornaments to keep around the house.

There's one important thing to keep in mind: this is a two-part workshop, and you need to attend both to finish what you've started. The first session on Thursday 5 November is for the making and shaping; the second is on Tuesday 10 November, when you'll come back to see your work through to the end. If you can't make both, you won't be able to complete the project, so check your calendar before you sign up.

Both sessions are held at Worthing Homes Community House, 25 Dominion Road, BN14 8JZ, in Worthing. The first one runs from 10:00am to 12:00pm on Thursday 5 November, and the second follows on Tuesday 10 November.
