Craft the bean to bar chocolate of your dreams
If you love chocolate, and want to learn the art of transforming cacao beans into deliciously unique chocolate,
welcome to the Next Batch.
Experience, curiosity, learning: a chocolate school sharing everything being a craft chocolate maker is all about.
the Bean to Bar ChocolateCraft Workshop
A workshop designed to follow the path (trajectory, lol) of a bean to bar maker’s year.
If you’re new to crafting chocolate the Workshop flows from skill to skill, building in depth as your experience gains traction.
For more experienced makers, or those who email me saying, “I’ve started on my own (or by watching xyz on YouTube) but now I’m lost, what should I do?” the Workshop evolves the way our daily/weekly/monthly production cycles progress, following the crafting rhythm of a maker’s year.
The two livestream seasons~~March, April, May, picking up again in August, September, October~~dive into topics that follow the crafting year. All livestreams so no one need miss a moment.
