Hello! It’s been a while since I posted here but the school holidays seemed to swallow me whole and desk-time was in short supply! With only a few months until the (sold out) My Open Kitchen Gathering on May 18-20; I am thrilled to announce the line up of mini-workshops to be held the day after our Gathering; Sunday May 20th. Tickets for these will be made available first to those who are already coming to the Gathering on May 19. These guys will have one week’s priority booking time and thereafter any available spots will be open to anyone and everyone.
I am so sorry if this means that some people will miss out, but next year’s Gathering will hopefully be bigger and we’ll be able to fit more people into the space. But you know what they say about being able to crawl before you walk….
How much? All workshops are $55pp
Where and when? They will all run at the Old Convent, 10 minutes out of Orange, from 10am-12pm on Sunday May 20.
Ticket sales for these workshops will open for Gathering attendees on Wednesday February 7th at 9am AEST. On Wednesday February 14th, any available tickets will be up for grabs to anyone and everyone. I’ll post the links here on the blog.
We are capping each workshop at 10 students. Super cosy.
