Project
Being Human FiZZ Hub I
Join us on a collective journey exploring the intricate relationships between fermentation, food preservation, culture, and human connection!
From 5 to 15 November, this pop-up hub will “ferment” human connections through food.
Join us for our workshops on how ferments, pickles, preserves and bacterial cultures make our food ALIVE. You can make kombucha and ginger bugs (a fizzy starter for homemade sodas), play with SCOBYs, make cyanotype sun prints, share food memories, swap recipes and more. Check out our calendar for events.
