Whew - it's a hot one! This is the perfect weather for patting yourself on the back and deciding to leave the growing to the growers. Kristen's happy that she did mainly herbs that are self sufficient and is friendly with real growers! Ok, the fun begins. My first class is this coming Thursday! Details... Half Day classes at Kristen's: July 15th(Thursday): 1-5pm Handbuilding. Yeah! We rarely get to do this due to the set up of my classes - but today we will! We're going to work with a nice stoneware clay to create a plate. Of note, kids won't be taking the plates home that day, they have to be fired, glazed and refired... Then, we'll clean up thoroughly and go on to our next fun task - cooking! I'm assuming that the extended weather forecast is accurate and it will continue to be hot hot hot. Therefore, we'll make a nice cool pasta salad with lots and lots of goodies in it. Grilled chicken, tomatoes, real mozzarella cheese and a yummy sauce with freshly picked basil. $65 July 29th (Thursday): 1-5pm Glazing. We'll learn all about different glazing techniques in this class and glaze the plates we made in our July 15th class! Don't worry if you didn't sign up for that class, good ole Kristen will make you one. Once again, we'll clean up and put on our chef hats and make dinner. Kristen's taking a bullet for you all on this one- and making the dinner that my family basically lives off of during the summer. We'll make homemade baguettes (picture all that heat at my home and not yours...). Then, we'll make an absolutely scrumptious homemade soft cheese. We'll then make our own fresh ingredients dipping oil with a Kristen twist that will be perfect for slathering on the baguettes. Top those with non homemade pepperoni if you wish - and voila! Sit around the dining room table, or take on a picnic and you have gourmet mini faux pizzas that are incredible and perfect for a nice hot summer day! I think we'll also throw together a fresh organic salad with homemade dressing or maybe fruit cups. $65 August 26 (Thursday): 1-5pm We'll decide what to make as this gets closer. Assume that it will involve pottery and cooking. $65 Campettes - Littleton (*I think these are both full but you can call Sharon and inquire): Note that the ages listed here are 6-10 I think, but don't worry if your child is interested and is older. I love having a wide range of ages in my classes. So if you want to sign up, just tell Sharon that I said it's just fine.
