What a fun afternoon we had yesterday!

Thank you to Stephanie from SoKno Sourdough for leading an amazing sourdough workshop at Marble Springs. Participants learned all about sourdough starters, feeding schedules, discard, and the basics of making their own loaves at home.

We had a full house with lots of excitement from both first-time bakers and sourdough enthusiasts alike. It's always rewarding to see traditional skills being shared and kept alive in our community.

Keep an eye out for more Crafting America Workshops in the next couple of months!
