Ceramics meets culinary innovation! This two-part workshop blends the art of clay and fermentation, offering a sustainable approach to food preservation. Please note $224 covers the cost of both workshops

Part One: Craft Your Masterpiece - Friday August 2nd Step into KMC studio with Wellington's renowned ceramics educator, Karla Marie, for an engaging session on hand-crafting your bespoke bench-top fermenting pot. Select from the finest quality, locally sourced, clays to shape a fermenting crock that's not only functional but your very own piece of art. After part one, Karla will take your creation through the vital stages of bisque firing and glazing, preparing it for its culinary destiny.

Part Two: The Art of Fermentation - Friday August 16th Return the following week to join Chef Ben Mac, a connoisseur of fermentation, who will guide you through the fascinating process of creating your own kimchi and pickles. This workshop is more than a simple cooking class, it's an immersive exploration into sustainable food preservation methods. You'll leave with your handcrafted fermenting pot brimming with delicious kimchi or pickle-style ferment, ready to continue the fermentation journey at home.

You'll come away with your handmade pot, fermented delicacies, and invaluable skills that will have you filling your special fermentation crock over and over again.
