Beginner's Sourdough Workshop by Katya
New Fall 2025-Spring 2026 Workshop Season is soon upon us! In the coming weeks we will be adding new dates, so stay tuned and enjoy your summer!
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, another ready to 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!
This workshop could not have been better! Katya freely shared her expertise and answered all of our questions on many aspects of Sourdough Brea Baking. The small group size and being in Katya's home bakery workspace was perfect. We all received a Sourdough starter which I fed later that evening and I can tell you its extremely active and spot on. I recommend this class to anyone interested in and pursuing their Sourdough excellence journey! Well done Katya and thank-you!!
Eric, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the workshop!! It was my pleasure to host you and your wife in my bakery and can't wait to hear all about your baking adventures!
My daughter and I took Katya’s class and I am SO GLAD we did! She was so kind, positive, and encouraging that I may show up at her door when I’ve had a bad day just so she can help me feel better. Kidding! Mostly. ;) The bread is ridiculously good and her knowledge and patience are exceptional. She welcomes all questions, she provides answers and works to make sure you understand, and gives you truly a wealth of knowledge. I’m eager to make my own loaf at home, encouraged by her positivity and the knowledge from the class, I left feeling so grateful Katya and I are in the same community.
Kris, you just made my day with your review! It was a pleasure to have you and Maeve over at the workshop. Please, stay in touch and keep me posted on your baking progress.
What a fantastic class! I learned a lot and thanks to the experience and expertise of Katya, I have confidence I will be successful in my own kitchen. Her passion and knowledge come through, all wrapped up in a generous dose of hospitality. If you want to learn about sourdough, this is the class for you!
Miguel, you just made my day it was a pleasure to have you over at the workshop! Can't wait to see your first loaf.
Great class!
Thank you, Irene!
