If you’ve seen the mural at our shop, you have experienced our idea come to life: people gathered around a table and learning by doing.

Our hands-on workshops are a space to slow down, learn traditional techniques, work with your hands, and hopefully share stories.

Come spend a few hours and make something with us! Checkout the link in our bio for our workshop calendar!

Handmade by Oakland Ceramicist Sarah Kersten, these fermentation jars are crafted with a waterlock seal, an ancient design which allows for an oxygen-free environmentβ€” the gold standard of vegetable fermentation.

Use for making bountiful batches of kraut, kimchi, kosher-style dills, mixed pickles, hot sauce, preserved lemons and more!
