In this interactive class, we'll learn how to make ricotta, a fresh white cheese, and butter from scratch. We will also explore the role that stoneware vessels played in the process of dairy production across the world, from the Armenian khnotsi to ancient clay sieve and bowl fragments found in Europe. We'll witness the magical transformation of milk and cream into one of our favorite treats, and we'll discuss how so much of our culture relies on these ... well, cultured foods! At the end of class, we'll pair our fresh ricotta and butter with hearty bread and seasonal fruits and jams for a taste test. This class is intended for all levels, no prior experience or pottery knowledge necessary. Just come ready to nerd out about food history! Instructor: Lala Thaddeus


The cost of tuition includes all food materials and fees.
