Chattery co-founder Shawanda Mason, creator of the lifestyle blog Eat.Drink.Frolic., has launched a new workshop and event series, beginning with a hands-on cocktail workshop at 6:30 p.m. today, Sept. 29, at Dish T’ Pass, 302 W. Sixth St. “I want to show fellow cocktail enthusiasts you don’t have to feel intimidated by the thought of making delicious cocktails,” says Mason. “In this workshop, we’ll make and drink three well-known cocktails that can easily be re-created at home.” Local illustrator Nicole Song, founder of The Vignette Co., is custom-making take-home recipe cards for the class. Cost is $45. For a ticket link, go to www.eatdrinkfrolic.com/easy-cocktails.
The Chattery, a Chattanooga nonprofit that specializes in quick-hit learning, has scheduled a new round of classes, including one that gives an overview of the organization’s offerings.
Speed Learning With the Chattery, set for 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5, could be considered a sampler of what’s available.
“Think speed dating, but less pressure,” says Jennifer Holder, co-founder and operations headmaster of The Chattery. “Participants will be able to go to each table and learn something new. We’ll have improv, fermentation, cooking skills and more.
“We’ve done the event twice now,” she says, “and it is a really fun way for people to understand what The Chattery is about and benefit from some free learning.”
