Description:

Join CLE for this hands-on, studiostyle workshop where participants use warmed cacao paste and cacao butter as a creative medium, designing their own edible chocolate artwork on a parchment-lined “canvas.” Guests incorporate spices, botanicals, dried fruits, and edible textural elements to create abstract or representational pieces. The class blends elements of studio art, sensory exploration, and chocolate craftsmanship, and includes a brief cacao tasting, live demonstration, guided creation time, and a relaxed gallery-style share at the end.

 

Melody Germain is an artist, educator, and mindfulness guide who has owned a chocolate company since 2009. A graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, she has taught studio art at The Bascom and led cacao-based experiential workshops. Her work blends creativity and mindful engagement, offering a unique approach to chocolate as an expressive medium.
