Beginner's Sourdough Workshop by Katya
Beginner's Sourdough Workshop by Katya
Discover the art of sourdough baking with this beginner's sourdough class at our cozy home bakery in West Linn! This hands-on, 3-hour class will guide you through every step of creating a perfect sourdough loaf. By the end, you'll leave with one freshly baked loaf, a set of tools to help you bake at home, and our signature starter culture, making it the perfect introduction to sourdough for beginners.
Our workshops are both educational and fun. Wine, refreshments, and small bites will be served, and at the end of the workshop we will put one of our freshly baked loaves to a taste test!

Kathleen and I had so much fun at last night’s sourdough bread making class. Katya is an excellent teacher. She is warm and friendly and her instructions were clear and easy to understand. We had hands on experience forming and scoring loaves. Katya is a master when it comes to making sourdough bread. We loved the class as much as we love her bread!
I went to this workshop with a coworker and my sister. Katya was awesome, she was super easy to communicate with beforehand, really personable, and clearly knows her stuff. The small bites, fresh-baked focaccia, and take-home starter were such nice touches and made the whole class feel really warm and genuine. She’s seriously a sourdough queen, highly recommend!
Hannah, it was my pleasure to host you, Ashley and Jojo at the workshop! So happy to hear you had a good time. You were such a fun group. Please, stay in touch and share your progress.
We learned a lot, had a great time. I’m excited to try it on my own. Delicious bread
Trisha, I'm so happy to hear you and your friends enjoyed my workshop. Can't wait to see your first loaf!
I had a wonderful experience with Kattia, learning all about sourdough bread and all the tips and tricks to replicate her marvelous recipes. And, I got to take an entire loaf home (that I had helped create) as well as her starter, so I can now go learn the craft at home. Curious about sourdough? This is the class to take! Excited to join the Fokattia Facebook community.
Katya is a bread ENGINEER and was amazing at sharing her expertise and insights to make us feel confident in our ability to replicate what we learned in the class at home. We were very novice bakers, but Katya was an excellent teacher, and this was a fantastic experience for all involved.
Andrew, I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the workshop. Can't wait to see photos of your first loaf!
