Winter Workshop: Salt Dough Ornament Christmas Crafts (Ages 12-16)
Class experience
In this course, students will learn facts and folklore about the history and science of salt dough ornaments. Meanwhile, we will construct various winter-theme crafts (using the primary medium of salt dough) together during our lesson. Please refer to the "Learner Supply List" tab to see the links for a couple of different salt dough recipe options, including one that uses the microwave so your oven is free for cooking dinner and the finished result can be done in minutes instead of hours!...
Although each class will be slightly different, students are strongly encouraged to bring the following basic materials to class: at least one recipe of salt dough (any of the options included below), acrylic paint with brushes or paint markers, a chopstick or equivalent stylus, craft glue, glitter/sugar/coarse salt (for week 4), scissors or craft knife, cookie/biscuit cutters, string or ribbon, printed templates (when specified).

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Some of the tools required for this course (e.g. scissors, craft knife, etc.) are considered hazardous for underage students. Also, students should NOT eat the salt dough, even if the ingredients are considered "safe". Therefore, these materials should only be used under parental supervision and/or at the parents discretion to ensure the safety of the student.
