Fermentation 101

In this 3 part workshop, local potter and fermenter Jeremy Ogusky will teach all the ins and outs of fermentation crocks and fermented foods. In Part 1, participants will make a ceramic fermentation crock. Jeremy will discuss the connection between ceramics and fermentation and then instruct students on vessel design elements that are essential for fermentation. Part 2 will get everyone started on fermenting food in the crocks that were made in part 1. Students will learn about the basics of lacto-fermentation and go home with a crock of bubbling fermenting food. Part 3 will be a community fermentation potluck meal. All participants will bring the fermented dishes they prepared as we share a group meal. Please visit http://mudflat.org/classes/ogusky.htm for more information or call 617-628-0589 to register.
