What you'll do
The age-old skill of making and shaping dough is at your fingertips! Whether a beginner or a seasoned veteran, working with dough is a very relaxing activity that helps you release stress with every pinch and punch.In this class, you’ll learn the basic ingredients needed for doughmaking and play with the consistency of dough, experiencing the tactile changes to it as you knead it and pound it. After a break to let the dough rest, we shape it, detail it, and make it come alive! At the end of the experience, you will have the knowledge and skills to recreate these anytime you want for yourself, friends, and family.Although it may seem daunting, the process is actually very easy to pick up and gets easier the more you do it. In fact, if you’ve made dough before, this might even be too easy. Feel free to take things up a notch and experiment with different shapes and sizes! Design Options
