Jams in a Jiffy Workshop with Judith Ritchie
Date: 15/03/2025
Time: 10:00
Saturday 15 March 2025, 10:00am - 4:30pm
Tutor: Judith Ritchie - Tutor of Screen Printing, Preserving & Jam Making - Contemporary Textile Artist - Screen Printer - Arts Writer - Award Winner - Costume Designer
Venue: Judith's Studio in Motupipi, Takaka, Golden Bay (Takaka Library is a placeholder only)
Cost: $160 online + $10 to tutor (a list of materials to bring will also be emailed)
Timeframe: 1 day workshop
Level: All
Description:
Have you got lots of berries coming along in your garden or available locally to buy? How about early plums dropping from your trees?
Come along to this fast paced one-day workshop where we will pop on our pinnies, roll up our sleeves and celebrate the wonderful art of making delicious jams!
By the end of the workshop you’ll have your own batch of low sugar fruit jam and one batch of fruit jam with the normal amount of sugar.
You’ll learn all the tricks about ways to set your jams, preparing jars and sealing them properly so they will last for ages. And let’s not forget label making; especially since it’s coming up to Christmas and these will make ideal gifts for friends and family…if they last that long!
So start collecting jars with or without lids, approx. 150 – 300 ml in size. You’ll need about 12, but bring a few extras just in case!
Your tutor will inform you of what is required specifically for your workshop in the welcome letter which will be emailed to you once your workshop enrolment is confirmed.
Important Info:
This is a small group workshops, book early to secure your place.
30 minutes for lunch; pls bring your own lunch. Tea and coffee provided.
Please note there is a $10 small materials charge paid directly to the tutor at the commencement of the workshop.
Judith has an AirBnB available on site for any students needing accommodation. Check her place out for availability at ‘Motupipi Stream Retreat’ on: https://www.airbnb.co.nz/new-zealand/stays
