    My husband and I had a blast taking a Charcuterie board making class together this summer. I found…read morethe course on Eventbrite, and it made for a fun experiential birthday gift. We started in the gift shop / wood gallery, and were given a run down of the day, safety instructions and learned about different kinds of wood. The wood we worked with was sourced locally by the wood shop next door - McCormack Timber Supply Company. We learned how charcuterie boards are traditionally made out of wood that bears fruit or vegetables like cherry, olive etc. Now that's been expanded for many kinds of wood. We got to select our plank of wood to work with. Next we moved into the wood working shop area and we were all given tools to sand down and smooth out the planks. It was fun to work with the rasp and electric sander. I recommend wearing closed toed shoes, clear communication with your partner, and asking for safety goggles if needed. There were about 10 others on our class and there was plenty of space and tools for everyone. Lastly we covered the wood with finishing oil. Then we went to a charcuterie plating demonstration in another room where some of the food elements were already set up. We learned how to make roses out of salami, some secret cheese display tricks, pops of flavor from suggested sides and other composition tips. So fun to see it all come together. Lastly we went next door to the Clifford Brewing Company in their lovely space and got a sample flight of 4 beers to pair with a charcuterie sampler with elements from the example board. Yum!! So nice to chat with our classmates and get their take on the snacks and beers too. We loved this class so much and recommend it highly to anyone who loves hands on art projects, snack arranging and tasting & beer varieties. Such a memorable experience and love our homemade charcuterie board souvenir!
