Marmalade season is upon us! The market shelves are overflowing with a plethora of exciting citrus, and we are ready to preserve it for the year ahead. And while we rather like the meticulous, meditative work - the chopping and juicing, slicing and simmering -for many folks it is hot messy work, best done is with a group of likeminded friends and managed by knowing, watchful eyes.
A hands-on workshop; dinner and wine will be served.
This unique course stems off of Jennie's recent show, Instances in Keeping, in which she re-interpreted 18 Reasons instructor Shakirah’s Simley recipes into multimedia artworks as a meditation on preservation and memory. Now, Jennie is excited to teach us a similar process so that we can create our own artwork, a perfect handmade gift for your favorite winter holiday!
Join us as we closely observe beautiful seasonal produce and, with Jennie's help, translate our observations into drawings with thread!
A 4-hour hands-on canning class. Food and wine will be served.
