Teaching Style
Please note that our teaching style has changed due to COVID and to allow our students to follow social distancing guidelines. We will be demonstrating making sourdough, and working with one mixer, Vanessa will make larger batches of dough. There will be ample will be opportunities to touch, taste, smell and feel the dough. It is important, however to understand that The School is a classroom, and the teaching style is about understanding the principles of sourdough rather than each of our students individually making bread. The practical side of learning to shape is supported by the sourdough club video tutorials for when you get home. This teaching style enables us to still run courses by maintaining a safe learning environment for both students and the team at the school. We ask that students are considerate of this approach and that you read and agreed to follow our COVID-19 guidelines before attending the school.
All of our information for attendees can be found here. Please read our Terms and Conditions before you book.
