cheese plates as fine art
Cheese Plates As Fine Art is a cheese+cracker design practice I developed as a series of online classes in the Fall of 2020. I find it remarkably soothing to line up tiny pieces of obsessively shaped zucchinis and radishes--just rigorous enough to occupy my thoughts, just the right amount of satisfying without being over-stimulating. The careful placement of cheese, fruits, and vegetables has the possibility of quieting our anxieties through a meditative and rejuvenating series of tasks.
In its current iteration, my classes guide the participants in the construction of cheese plates from a fine art perspective. It’s a bit like paint-by-numbers with cheeses, nice flavors, and good conversation. Upon registration, participants will be sent a grocery list and print-out pattern of the chosen design. Book individually or in private groups for birthday parties, office socials, and other get-togethers. In-person classes are possible in the NYC area.
I also offer cheese plates for events. All plates are created using homemade crackers, top-quality cheeses, and organic seasonal produce.
