This class has already happened, but I’m leaving the page here for historical purposes.
Tom Hickson will be holding a brick oven building course at his home in Stillwater, Minnesota this summer. The class will learn how to build an Alan Scott oven from oven-builder and rustic bread baker Derek Luchese. Derek teaches the oven-building course at the North House Folk School in Grand Marais, MN and is owner of Both Hands Bread, South Gillies, ON.
The course is offered at a significantly lower cost and in the Twin Cities area so that
- more folks can learn how to build ovens
- Tom Hickson can get some help building his oven
- part of the course cost will go toward a donation to the Friends School of Minnesota
During the course you will actually build an oven to near-completion, gaining experience with pouring the concrete hearth slab, setting the firebricks for the hearth, and building an arched oven vault. All materials will be provided; you just bring some gloves and dirty clothes.
If you or anyone you would know might like to take this fun course, have them contact Tom Hickson at:

Dates: June 3-5, 2011 (all day for each day) Cost: $250.00 (a portion of which will be a donation to FSMN)
