Where And How
HOW CAN I REGISTER FOR A CLASS?
Check out the schedule under "class calendar". Go to the class and click on "book". If the class I sold out you typically see a waitlist. Waitlist spots will be offered to everybody, thus being contacted about an open space does not guarantee a spot int the class.
Most summer classes are held in-person, while our holiday baking and winter classes are virtual, via zoom.
The spring / summer class calendar is usually posted in January, the holiday classes are posted early fall.
You can book a private sourdough class for a group of friends or family - we can tailor all classes to your interests and accommodate everyone from absolute beginners to professionals. Contact us!
