Hey folks, I had a friend mention that I should do a large sharpening workshop/class type thing like I used to do years ago. I like this idea.
He suggested NYC as a potential and I threw in Washington DC knowing how many knifenuts we have down in that area these days.
Since this would mean me travelling and needing a venue to conduct the class we both thought it'd be wise to post on it here and see what ideas/suggestions people could come up with and judge interest.
My thoughts...
Day(s) - 1 or 2 day workshop
Day of Week - Monday (for the Pro Cooks) is a must this time, they always get screwed. If a second day is added in then it'd be Sun or Tues.
Curriculum - Basic gyuto/santoku/etc small bevel sharpening. The main mission is that everyone in attendance for the basic class goes home feeling confident that they can sharpen their knives on a level they only dreamed of. For a (potential) second day, this is where we could do wide bevel gyutos/nakiris/etc, single bevels, and repairs.
Venue - Need enough space for 11 work stations to spread out comfortably. Tables at a good sharpening height. And water all over everything OK. Any ideas?
Cost - $200 per person (per day) would be what I'd need to charge to make it happen.
Attendance Req. (min) - 10 students (per day)
Please add in anything you like here, I want to hear all ideas and thoughts you have!
Thanks,
Dave
