In this hands-on workshop you will learn (or remember) how to bake a simple, delicious loaf of whole wheat bread in your own home. We will take you through the process of making bread, step-by-step.
While the dough is rising and baking oh-so-patiently, we will write from prompts inspired by the bread-making process. By... the end of the afternoon, you will have a notebook brimming with story seeds and a warm loaf of bread in your hand.
