🌮 Cinco de Mayo Tortilla Press Workshop: Press to Impress! 🪵✨

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo weekend with a handcrafted touch! In this 2.5-hour workshop, you'll create a beautiful wooden tortilla press that transforms homemade tortillas from frustrating to fantastic.

Why a wooden press?

Unlike store-bought plastic presses that crack or metal ones that rust, your handcrafted maple press will become a kitchen heirloom that improves with age. Plus, there's something deeply satisfying about pressing perfect tortillas with a tool you built yourself.

What you'll learn:

• How to select and prepare hardwood for kitchen use

• Proper measuring and cutting techniques

• Assembly methods that ensure durability

• Food-safe finishing that enhances the natural beauty of wood

• Simple joinery techniques you can apply to future projects

What you'll take home:

• Your completed wooden tortilla press

• The confidence to tackle your next woodworking project

• A new appreciation for the craft behind kitchen tools

• Skills that transfer to countless other woodworking projects

Experience level:

Absolute beginners welcome! Our expert guides break down every step into manageable parts, ensuring everyone succeeds regardless of prior experience.

All tools and materials provided, including premium maple selected for its durability and beauty. Just bring yourself, closed-toe shoes, and a willingness to try something new.

Finish your press in time to use it for your Cinco de Mayo celebrations! You'll leave with a functional, beautiful kitchen tool and the pride that comes from saying, "I made this."
