Flex your creative muscles with local craft beer, light bites, and friends, as you transform a slab of local, reclaimed wood into a customized cheese and charcuterie serving platter.

Each Workshop Ticket Includes:

Voucher for one (1) Feel the Rain Brothers Brew Co. beverage (good for one beer, hard seltzer, canned cocktail, or non alcoholic drink)
Supplies to create a wooden charcuterie board (including a slab of locally-sourced, urban wood)
Charcuterie and cheese spread
Bottle of mineral oil to take home for board maintenance

After choosing a slab of wood, participants will have the option to either trace the shape of their board, using one of the 4 templates provided, or freehand their own shape. Staff from one of the many urban wood programs partnering with HDR, on this workshop, will cut out the boards, while workshop participants head into the taproom to enjoy a beverage and a presentation on the City of Harrisonburg's Urban Wood Program. Participants will learn the background of the locally sourced wood they’ll be giving a new life to and the purpose and importance of Virginia urban wood programs.

Following the presentation, participants will be invited to sample a spread of charcuterie meats, cheeses, and fruits provided by JMU Dining while a JMU Dining Chef shares his tips and tricks for building the ultimate charcuterie and cheese board at home.

The workshop will then continue outside where participants will sand their freshly cut boards and have the option to further customize their board with handles.
