Cake-Decorating Fundamentals for an Autumn Harvest Cake (Ages 10-18)
Sunday November 9, 2:30-4:30pm
We are excited to welcome Cake Hoopla to our teaching roster for some delicious autumnal culinary workshops!
Designed for students who want to build a professional-looking cake from the ground up, this workshop provides confidence, creativity, and hands-on skills that impress long after class ends.
Working with a three-layer cake, students will practice essential techniques, like stacking, filling, frosting, and decorating, before creating a show-stopping fall design complete with fondant pumpkins and cascading autumn leaves. Each student will take home both a beautiful centerpiece cake and the knowledge to recreate the process at home.
Ceramics Resident Workshop: Making & Using of Terra Sigillata: Ceramic Surface Possibilities

Join us for a two week workshop led by our November Ceramics Resident Fiona Shaughnessy
Participants are invited to learn about terra sigillata, a surface treatment originally used by ancient Greeks and Romans in lieu of glaze that creates a luminous, skin-like finish. Fiona Shaughnessy will guide participants through the process in two sessions to demonstrate the diverse applications of this technique, and to allow the terra sigillata to mature over the course of the intervening week. All Workshop Materials will be provided.
Workshop cost: $230/two week workshop (all materials provided)
