Drop in Sauerkraut Making Workshop, Led by Joe Hartley  

Join us for this evening event where you will learn how to make and take away your own jar of sauerkraut. It will also be an opportunity to meet and hear from artist and designer Joe Hartley and Matthew Pendergast (Castlefield Gallery, Curator and Head or Programmes) about our current exhibition of work co-created by Joe Hartley and the ANEW recovery community. 

Learning to make homemade sauerkraut is both cost-effective and healthier than many shop bought versions. It is packed with beneficial probiotics that improve gut health helping you thrive during your time as a student in Manchester!  In the context of our current exhibition ANEW Way to Peel an Orange this simple and rewarding fermentation project is a celebration of life and new beginnings as well an opportunity to highlight the importance of caring as part of the recovery process.
