Livestream: Paint-along Workshop
Sunday, January 31, 2021 – 12:00pm to 1:30pm
Virtual Class
Join us for a relaxing acrylic painting lesson from the comfort of your own home! The event is sponsored in part by Arts So Wonderful and hosted by a local artist Kadina Malicbegovic of www.littleartsyfaces.com. She’ll introduce participants to her favorite art techniques, then guide them step by step through the process of painting on canvas using acrylic paint. These painting sessions are beginner friendly, but all skill levels are welcome. The goal is to bring the community together, socialize, explore our hidden talents, and most importantly relax and have a good time! Participants will be able to pick up material kits prior to class; more information on pickup times will be sent out to participants after signing up. The livestream will be held on the Microsoft Teams platform and joining instructions will be sent in an email; we recommend installing the platform ahead of time and joining the live event a few minutes early.

A Mosaic of Flavor Livestream: Congolese Makayabu, Manioc-Yaka and Safou (Salt Fish, Cassava and African Plum Fruit)
Wednesday, February 10, 2021 – 5:30pm to 7:00pm
Virtual Class
The Mosaic of Flavor cooking series is a collaboration between City Market and USCRI Vermont (US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants Vermont, formerly the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program). In February, we will prepare a special meal from the Republic of the Congo that includes salt fish and steamed cassava, served with a red sauce and safou, the nutritious fruit of an evergreen tree native to Africa known as African plum, bush pear or butterfruit. Our instructor, Rodrick Kiesse, is originally from Congo-Brazzaville, and moved to Vermont with his family in 2010. An avid cook from a young age, Rodrick pursued his culinary studies at the Center for Technology in Essex and the New England Culinary Institute and has worked as a line cook at The Inn at Shelburne Farms and Waterworks in Winooski and participated in numerous cooking competitions. Rodrick is excited to teach us how to prepare three of his favorite Congolese recipes using culinary techniques he learned from his family in Congo as well as in culinary school.
This class is designed as a demo and not as a cook-along, and will be held on the Microsoft Teams platform.; instructions for joining the event will be sent to participants in advance.
Free, suggested $10 minimum donation to USCRI’s efforts in VT
