Choose to be responsible by learning how to eat deliciously, yet healthily. You’ll also be introduced to “superfoods”, learn about healthy snacking and how to read food labels. The action starts after watching the cooking demonstrations and then making the dishes yourself. You will make your own breakfasts and snacks, and munch it all up if you wish to! You will also be responsible for setting the table in a creative but functional way. Parents are welcome to join their children on these workshops to learn and create together.

Or indulge in a Chocolate Workshop where you’ll discover the secrets to making truffles, mousse and chocolate garnishes for beautiful food decorating.

The 7th Floor is Foodcorp’s innovation centre, South Africa’s first-ever food design and innovation centre. Foodcorp is the holding company of a group of businesses engaged primarily in the production, marketing and distribution of food.

Ruth Prowse will be opening the doors to their jewellery manufacturing labs where workshop participants will find real cauldrons, work benches, saws and cutters, welders, casts and more.

This hands-on Jewellery Workshop will teach you how to use all these tools to construct and develop a functional piece of jewellery, and all in a day. Each workshop participant will hand-make a ring or a pendant from silver and add personal creative touches like engraving. The best part is that you get to take the polished piece home to show off and wear.

So if you are interested in working with hard core metals and equipment to make beautiful pieces of jewellery, then sign-up for this course.
