The retail value of the kit is $230, but participants will pay Chris just $120 on the night of class. Those in the know bring containers just in case! Class size is limited to 6 so register today!

There is nothing like the aroma of baking sourdough bread unless it is biting into a slice fresh from the oven! Students will learn how to care for a sourdough starter, how to knead using two different techniques, and how to mix, shape, and score the bread for baking. The instructor will demonstrate two ways to bake a loaf––using a cloche or a stone with steam in the oven––followed by a taste testing. Students will then shape, score and bake a loaf of their own in class. Bring a 32-ounce container to take home some sourdough culture for home baking. A $5 ingredients fee is payable to the instructor at class.

Tarot is believed to be one of the oldest uses of divination, though its origins are unknown. Unlike Oracle Cards, learning how to use Tarot cards tends to take more time for people to learn the card meanings and set structures. Join Nancy in this new 2-night class, where you will get an introduction into the use of Tarot Cards, card meanings, and a basic set structure.

Card Decks are available starting at $10, and payable to the instructor at the start of class.
