Tools to Table: Fall Open House Saturday, September 10, 2016 | noon-5pm
The Crucible's Fall Open House celebrates the tools and techniques of creating and consuming food and drink! Tools to Table will feature over a dozen areas of interest: featured food and spirit vendors, creative collaborations, and onstage demonstrations. Guests will catch amazing fiery performances, see exciting demos in our studios, and explore our student and faculty art show displaying the creativity of The Crucible artist community as it relates to tools and utensils.
Our themed Open House events are a great way to learn more about our 56,000 square foot studio and seasonal class offerings.
This year, we are thrilled to announce that our neighbor, James Syhabout, Oakland born and reared, acclaimed chef of two-star Michelin-rated chef of Commis and Hawker Fare will be joining us for a butchery demonstration at 4pm. Chef James is working with a local bladesmith, Jeff Pringle, to create a custom hand forged knife as part of the collaboration and celebration of Tools to Table. Chef James will butcher a 35-pound pig, which will be donated to St. Vincent de Paul. In addition, Hawker Fare and Commis will be selling pork buns and garlic rosemary peanuts!
Billy Hiebert will be making candy molds for limited edition cast chocolate coins by Jordan Michael Schuster. Billy is a “sculpturally committed” artist with a lifelong dedication to integrating the processes, materials, techniques, and activities related to clay modeling, molding, casting, and carving. Bay area native, Jordan was long ago nicknamed “Really Wonka” in homage to his penchant for producing chocolatey mischief and glorious delectables in equal measure.
Adam Lamoreaux, our neighbor at the Beer Shed, will be curating a tasting with glassware that enhances each beer. After founding Linden Street Brewery in 2009, Adam, with wife Alice, have been part of countless community projects, social gatherings, and civic services. A portion of sales will be contributed to The Crucible.
All studios will be doing demonstrations, including:
Cocktail glasses made in our glass blowing department
Pedal-powered smoothies with a bicycle blender
Butchering demonstration on the main stage
Waffle-making in our foundry with a special Crucible-designed sandcast waffle iron
Hammered forks and spoons in the smithy
Chocolate casting in our moldmaking studio
Fire performance
Learning opportunities, interactive activities, and artful displays:
