Baking is a craft, or to some, an art form just as is woodworking, pottery, felting or painting. Grains such as wheat, rye and oats become beautiful mouthwatering loaves of bread sometimes for the less patient baker a no knead boule of perfection. Wood becomes cutting boards, pizza paddles, cooling trivets or utensils. Clay becomes an array of plates, cups and bowls. All three join forces during River Roads Artisans Gallery's participation in the Kneading Conference on August 1 from 10AM to 5PM. Stop by the Trade Show on August 1 to find some of the artisan made goods that compliment the bread that will be baked.
Becky Wheeler of DirtGirl Pottery creates deceptively simple bowls for holding ingredients or soup to eat with the fresh baked bread or rolls. They come in an array of colors and sized from a cup to a robust bowlful.
Ray Corson layers together deliciously eye catching utensils, cutting boards, and trivets to grace your table and food preparations. The cutting boards are durable easy to care for mix of hardwoods.
Raku, a wood fired pottery, hand formed and fired by Tim Chicocki of Norridgewock, has an understated simplicity that enhances and not overpowers the work of the baker through a neutral palette. The Zen of bread and its making are accompanied by the perfect handheld bowl to scramble eggs in for a simple morning repast or to dunk chunks of baguette into ragu sauce.
All of these and more can be seen at the River Roads Artisans Gallery located at 191 North Street, Rte 150 in Skowhegan.
