Join us for a unique, hands-on workshop all about the nature of chocolate with Norman Wittels at New England Sci-Tech. Activities are geared toward CHILD-PARENT pairs, but adults may take the workshop without a participating child.
The workshop is intended to be experienced in a 3-session sequence, as the later concepts build upon previous experiences.
Class #1 Molding Chocolates
Do you want to learn how to make molded chocolate bonbons and bars? This class teaches molding using both commercial molds and custom molds based on student sketches made with 3D printing and silicone molding materials.
Class #2 Chocolate Physical and Chemical Properties
Do you wonder what is in chocolate that gives it snap and gloss and that makes it susceptible to heat damage? In this class, we will explore the ingredients in chocolate, study processing techniques, and learn how to prepare and store chocolate.
Class #3: Printing Chocolates
Have you wondered how individual chocolate pieces are made and decorated? In this class, we will show how to shape, decorate, and fill bonbons.
