There are two days for this class, they are a week apart.

Sourdough 101; Starting the Starter; 5p - 5:30p

We're going to dive into the fascinating world of sourdough starters.  A sourdough starter is a mixture of flour and water that captures wild yeast and bacteria from the environment, which ferments the mixture and makes it rise.  This natural fermentation process not only gives sourdough its unique flavor but also makes the bread more digestible.  Creating a sourdough starts is simple but requires patience and care as you nurture this living culture.  Over the next few days, we'll feed our starter daily with fresh flour and water, watching it transform into a bubbly, active mixture ready to bake delicious sourdough bread.

Please bring a large bowl with cover. Other Materials Included. 

Sourdough 102; Making Sourdough 4p - 7p

We're going to explore the art of making sourdough bread.  Using your sourdough starter from the first class, we'll go through each step, from mixing and kneading to dough to shaping and baking it.  Get read to enjoy the delicious aroma and test of freshly baked sourdough bread?

Steve McGrath

One of the most popular art genres through time, portraiture, Rembrandt takes the lead with 100 self-portraits including 40 paintings, 31 etchings, and seven drawings.  Of Frida Kahlo's 143 paintings, 55 of them were self-portraits.  Van Gogh painted 30 portraits of himself.  Within his 75-year career as an artist, Picasso also painted 30 portraits of himself.

Practice shading and the Element of Value, to create the illusion of depth.  Apply that skill to practice drawing facial features: eyes, noses, mouths, and ears, and put them together to create a self-portrait.

Shape a plaster-gauze mold of your face as an acrylic sub-straight to create a dramatic wearable art piece.
