Join Chef Tara Humphrey of the Global Peel as she explores culture through cooking. Your camper will investigate new regions daily and discover a broad range of flavors from several countries. Highlights each week will be cheese making, dumplings, sous vide, pasta, and more. Learn history, eat lunch and share our common story with your fellow students in the Cheney kitchen and dining room. Great food and life skills to carry forward. We are all family around food.
Have a piece of jewelry that needs some simple mending? In this workshop, participants are welcome to bring in broken jewelry, and we'll help them repair the piece or creatively repurpose it! This is for basic repairs, such as reattaching clasps, replacing jump rings, or fixing minor damage. Please note that more advanced work—like stone setting or replacing missing gemstones should be attempted in Lapidary classes.
