Course
Building Blocks for the Oversize Oven: Service Learning Project
Course Overview
Before you can bake, you have to build. Before you can build, you have to lay the blocks--for the oven, that is. This May, North House will build a new, oversize wood-fired brick oven for campus. The oven is the heart of campus and will see countless pizza bakes, sourdough bread courses and even the occasional cinnamon roll. We need your help to complete the crucial first step-- building the cement block foundation on which the oven will rest. In this three day course, you will assist ovencrafting instructor Derek Lucchese and gain an in-depth understanding of how to begin an oven-building project. If you've dreamed of fresh loaves emerging from an oven in your backyard, this experience will help you get your project rolling and give you a sense of accomplishment every time you see the new North House oven. Tuition includes lunch each day.
