UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
If you’d like to schedule an individual or small group baking, dyeing, or quilting class, please write to sugarhouseworkshop@gmail.com. It is a great joy of mine to spend time baking and making with kindred folks, and I’m happy to make special arrangements for us to work together!
Sourdough loaves at home / Saturday July 27, 2024 12:30-3:30pm
Join me in my home kitchen to learn how to make sourdough bread! We will cover all of the information and techniques needed to build a simple and sustainable bread-baking practice from feeding and maintaining your starter to making versatile doughs and tailoring your home oven to achieve beautifully-risen golden brown loaves. Homemade snacks will be provided during the workshop, and each participant will leave with sourdough starter and recipes.
Cost: $65

Weaving Together: a naturally-dyed potholder workshop / Sunday July 28, 2024 12:30-3pm
Join us as we explore the late summer landscape at the Frost House, create a simple natural dye bath together from local flowers, and use our dyed material to weave classic cotton potholders.
Day one of our time together will be focused on making color from the land around us and practicing the basics of weaving on a traditional potholder loom using cotton loops. An optional second afternoon on August 11 from 12:30- 3:00 will offer the opportunity to expand your weaving practice as we create a sturdy, colorful rug from our potholder squares.
This class is suitable for adults and teens, or children with the company of a parent. Workshop participants will receive a loom to keep, and will leave with at least one finished potholder and loops from our community dye pot.
Cost: $50, including materials and a loom to keep

Homemade snacks will be offered during the workshop, and everyone will leave with doughnuts, sourdough starter if you need it, and recipes.
