Become an Expert Barista

You make a pot of coffee day after day, year after year, but you still may not have a clue whether you’re doing it properly. At one of Stone Creek’s How to Brew Coffee workshops, you’ll learn the six essential elements to brewing a perfect cup and experiment with methods like pour over, French press and more. 


It’s time to pick your Milwaukee favorites for the year!

 

Blow Up

Glass blowing isn’t the kind of practice you can pick up after a quick trip to the craft store. It requires specialized equipment and skills, plus a furnace. But if this interests you, there’s a studio in Milwaukee that specializes in teaching the basics – and you even get to take home a project (after a few days, of course, so it can cool). Book an appointment at Square One Art Glass, where you’ll get to choose between an ornament, bowl, paperweight, pumpkin or wind chime and receive expert guidance through the process. Come prepared to put in work and, as the name suggests, blow. 

Roll Out

If you’re searching for a high-energy activity, this one is for you. Lace up your skates and learn to boogie on wheels. Roll Train’s intro to rhythm rollerdancing class starts with the basics. An hour later, even new skaters are able to do some fancy footwork choreographed to a song.
