Announcing the Hounds in the Kitchen Autumn workshop and demo schedule full of flavor and fun!
Homestead Studio
Born from a desire to explore some homesteading concepts in a free-form, playful environment, I put together two series of studio experiences at City Folk's Farm Shop. Lil and I will prepare materials for friends of all ages to manipulate as they wish. The sensory-rich studios will be as fun for a six year old girl as a midlife woman or retiree.
Wool (carding, dying, felting, and weaving) will be held Mondays September 17 – October 1 from 2-3 pm.
DIY Home (cleaning solutions, bath products, and beeswax candles) will be held Mondays November 12 – 26 from 2-3 pm.
Registration is only $20 for three one-hour studios. More details, including how to register, are on the Homestead Studio page.
Real Food with Rachel
Cooks who need a refresher or want to learn how to be less dependent on mixes will enjoy the Real Food with Rachel series at Wild Goose Creative. Set in their open and approachable enviornment, participants will practice whole food cooking skills.
Register for Whole Bird Cooking (October 21), Pies, Sweet & Savory (November 18), or Sauces (December 16) to cook and eat in a fun relaxed space. Classes are held from 3-5 pm on those days and cost $35 each or $90 for the series. Further details and online registration are hosted at the Real Food with Rachel page.
