Introduction

Flour and water has been used as a modelling medium since ancient times. Early examples were figures used as offering to the gods. Throughout the ages this developed into making decorations etc. for our homes. The addition of salt acted both as a hardener and preservative.

In recent years by using varnish to seal the model we can ensure that our work will last for many years. This craft has been particularly popular in continental Europe and the USA and in recent years has spread to Ireland.

Here I will describe how to make a doll and a pig from dough.

Preknowledge

Who is this training for?

It is an ideal craft for adults and children alike. The pieces can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make them. Usually the only limit to what you can make is your imagination or the size of the oven! The raw ingredients are readily available and inexpensive and the tools are available in most kitchens.
