Biscotti and Textile Workshop
From dunking biscotti to dunking textiles - leave with something delicious and something beautiful.
COMING SOON!
In this two-hour, hands-on workshop, you’ll:
bake Chocolate Oaxacan Spice Biscotti with Almonds (using a few secret tricks that make them spectacular)
create a striking indigo tea towel via the shibori fold/dye method (a little like tie dye, but easier and no experience needed)
taste Lemon Pistachio with White Chocolate Biscotti
make a few creative friends along the way.
Group size: 4 attendees.
Cost: $100. A $50 deposit holds your spot. Deposits are non-refundable but class IS reschedulable, providing it’s longer than 2 days out. The balance is due the day before class, via Venmo, if that works for you. Each person must book individually. 18+ please.
Schedule: These workshops are generally happening during the day, during the week. If you need a different time, and can put together a small group, please let me know and I’ll see if I can accommodate.
Class Flow
10:00 AM. We start in the kitchen.
You arrive at my North Park home kitchen and we get right to work mixing up the Chocolate Oaxacan Spice biscotti dough and talk technique, tips and tricks for exceptional results. While the chocolate dough rests in the fridge, we practice our slicing skills on a Lemon Pistachio with White Chocolate Chunk log I’ve baked ahead of time. (Remember, biscotti means “twice baked” in Italian, so first you bake the log, then you slice and re-bake the pieces.)
10:45 AM. Into the oven, and onto the porch. The Lemon Pistachio slices go into the oven for their second bake, and we move to the shaded porch studio for the art portion of class: Shibori-dyed tea towels.
Shibori-Dyed Tea Towels
Here, we use a modern take on traditional Japanese shibori techniques to create beautifully dyed tea towels—no painting skills required.
You’ll choose from a few simple folding methods, then dunk your tea towel into gorgeous indigo dye. The magic happens as the fabric absorbs the dye, creating organic patterns and subtle variations that are completely unique to each piece.
This process is intentionally low-pressure and a little unpredictable—in the best way. The folds and dyes do most of the work, so every towel turns out interesting, elevated, and entirely your own. The tea towels are substantial in size/thickness and 100% cotton.
11:00 AM. The kitchen keeps working while we dye our tea towels.
The Lemon Pistachio slices come out of the oven to cool. The Chocolate Oaxacan log goes in for its first bake.
Meanwhile, we’re happily working on our tea towels outside.
11:30 AM. The best part: dunking and tasting.
The Chocolate logs come out of the oven. We finish our tea towels and gather for a guided dunk-and-taste session with the now-cooled Lemon Pistachio biscotti.
12:00 PM. You head home with the goods.
your Chocolate Oaxacan biscotti log (ready to slice and second-bake later that day—or freeze for a future baking session)
your hand-dyed tea towel (just needs a quick wash at home)
the recipes for both biscotti, so you can make them anytime you want to impress people—or just treat yourself.
A creative, delicious, social morning. You’ll only be slightly flour-dusted. And possibly speckled with blue.
