Charcuterie Board workshop
Sunday | September 6th | 3pm
Saturday | September 19th | 3pm
In this hands-on workshop, we create ceramic charcuterie boards designed for gathering, sharing, and slowing down. Each board is hand-built with intention, allowing texture, shape, and natural edges to guide the process. Both functional and sculptural, these pieces are made to hold food, conversation, and connection. Finished with food-safe glazes, every board is one-of-a-kind—bringing warmth, beauty, and ritual to the table.
