  • This was a lovely afternoon. I’ve wanted to learn how to make sourdough forever but the steps and time were daunting. Now I’m actually excited to give it a try. More than anything, I’m looking forward to learning along with my daughters so this can be a childhood tradition that they’ll remember and a skill they can take with them. It’s just a beautiful hobby and that’s before you get into anything artistic! Thank you for making it feel very accessible for a total beginner.

  • What a great workshop. I went in feeling very inexperienced and uncertain, and I left feeling more willing to just try and try again. I loved the class and want to keep exploring sourdough more!
