What to expect

You'll arrive ready to work with your hands. The instructor walks you through fundamental techniques—how dough behaves, why temperature matters, where precision counts and where instinct takes over. Expect flour on your apron and honest feedback on what you've shaped. There's no pretence here; the focus is on understanding the craft rather than producing restaurant-quality results on day one. You finish by tasting what you've baked, understanding why certain steps matter by tasting the difference they make.
