Where to buy vegetables, how to choose them, how to cut them, cook them, transform them, all the tips, and stories, that compose the Saint-Denis terroir.

Decorated bread, workshop with artist Maria Varela
Time to be confirmed, 15 participants max

In Greek tradition decorated breads were used to visualise a desire or wish by the person who created or requested the bread. Endowed with a supernatural potential these breads used to be decorated with symbols inspired by daily life and nature. Maria Varela in her work “Decorated Bread” created a database of contemporary wishes. In this workshop we will create decorated breads using the wishes’ database. While learning the traditional technique, we will update the traditional symbols and each participant will create a unique narrative on the top of the bread. By the end of the workshops all breads will be baked to delicious coded wishes! You can read more about Decorated Bread Project here.
