Christmas Salt Dough - Session 2

Christmas Salt Dough - Session 2 is on at Worthing Homes Community House on Tuesday 10 November, from 10:00am to 12:00pm. It's a craft workshop run around the idea of salt dough, and as the name suggests, it's the second of two sessions. If you're thinking of signing up, keep in mind that you'll need to attend both to get the full run of it.

Salt dough is one of those old-school crafts that's hard to explain until you've actually done it. You mix flour, salt, and water into a dough that you can mould into whatever you like, and then it hardens as it dries. Here, the focus is on Christmas, so you'll be making festive decorations and ornaments to keep for the season. It's the kind of thing that's as much about the process as the finished result — working the dough, shaping it, and seeing it set.

Because it's a two-part workshop, the sessions are designed to follow on from one another. You'll spend the first session getting your shapes made, and the second is where you'll come back to finish them off, which usually means painting and decorating once they've had time to dry. That's why you'll want to make sure you can commit to both dates if you're going to join in.

The workshop runs from 10:00am to 12:00pm at Worthing Homes Community House, 25 Dominion Road, BN14 8JZ, in Worthing. It's a free event, so there's no cost to take part.
