Pizza Peels: Carve Your Own
Course Overview
Made famous at North House’s wood-fired oven student potlucks, the wooden peels used for easily sliding hand-shaped bread loaves and pizzas in and out the oven are now available for you to make. Made from white pine, you will learn to rip, cut, and plane your wooden board, being introduced to safe and proper use of power and hand tools. With hand planes, spoke shaves and carving knives, you will learn traditional carving techniques to shape the handle for both function and aesthetic beauty. Great for pastries, breads and hand-tossed pizzas, add this delightful, traditional wooden peel to your repertoire of kitchenware. Sizes vary depending on your desired use (10”-14” wide by 20”-24” long) and will be determined at the onset of class with your instructor.
