Service Description

Although the workshop is geared towards cheese making, these same pieces can also function as berry bowls, pasta strainers, etc. These straining molds are good for making chevre, ricotta, queso fresco or farmers cheese. Come make this reusable (no plastic here!) and pass-downable strainer for cheese making. The French have been making ceramic version of what we will make since the 12th century. These are great family heirlooms to develop memories around. Don’t forget to write down a recipe log or menu journal when you experiment. In this workshop, we will make two ~4 inch molds (they taper from a ~5 inch diameter). We will hand build these, but if you are familiar with the wheel you can throw them. We will also punch the many holes or groves that are required for draining the whey. One strainer can make about 1lb. of cheese. The cost covers instruction, tools, clay, glazes, and both firings. As an after “party” when the strainers come out of the kiln we can all get together and make cheese (I will provide a dried Mediterranean dried herb bundle). To make more of these, each additional mold is $30.
