Festival registration is open! Design Week 2020 runs virtually from August 3-7.
Transfer your art and craft skills to a new medium. The workshop begins with a brief introduction to tempering and using chocolate before we jump into making decorations. Play with tempered chocolate, modeling chocolate, chocolate grains, natural color and coating chocolate. Mold, shape and pipe individual elements to create a branch, flowers, leaves, butterfly, pebbles and a small figure, then put them together on a mirror to complete your pièce de résistance!
What to expect: The focus will be on gaining an initial understanding of the chemistry of chocolate and a handful of techniques for creating varied decorations. Each participant will make their own version of the elements, then choose how to combine them into a centerpiece. We have a lot to accomplish in a short time; the focus will be on learning new skills for your toolkit.
