(Anne Narejko photo) Recreation department sponsors first art course By Anne Narejko CLINTON - With Christmas just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about presents for those hard to buy for people. Why not try a different approach this year and make the presents. Susan St: Louis' bread dough art course, sponsored by the Minton Recreation Department, is the first art course to be held at the town hall. It will started November 21 and runs on Wednesday evenings until December 12. Mrs. St. Louis is involved in many crafts. • While taking a cake decorating course in London, she saw that they also offered a bread dough art'course: She decided to take it and found that she "just loved it." Mrs. St. Louis makes girls, boys, men, women, bakers and witches. She also makes bread baskets and plaques with the bread dough. Bread dough art is reasonably easy to do, but does take time. There are no molds, so each part of the figure is made by hand. "I try to get them as similar as possible, but it does take practice," she commented. All that is needed to make the bread dough art is flour, salt, water, high gloss or satin varnish and an oven. "You take your flour and salt, add water to, it and make your figure. For a lady, I would put it in the oven for a couple of hours at a time. It would take between 12-15 hours Area reside is work on Christmas Decoration Course Good news!

It is important to dry the entire figure or the varnish will soak in. To tell whether the inside is dry, Mrs. St. Louis uses a needle. Her husband, Doug, looks after the var- nishing. According to his wife, he hangs the figures on a line and applies three coats of varnish. ' Mrs. St. Louis has been experimenting with coloring the dough. This is done by dy- ing the dough before it is cooked or painting it after. Poster paint, cake coloring, coffee or spices will turn the dough into the desired color. • • 'Bread dough art is only one of the many. crafts Mrs. St. Louis is involved in. She also does cake decorating, flower arranging, makes chocolate suckers and does soft sculpture.
