Overview talk: Ice Cream!


Two times per session (about once every three weeks) each artist gives fellow participants a 10-30 min. in-studio talk about something related to art or creativity that they’re interested in and think the other artists in residence would benefit from. Artists have complete freedom and creative license in designing their overview talks....
This week an overview talk was given on the culinary art of old fashioned ice cream. In the photo you see a 60 - 100 year old ice cream hand cranker. A metal container filled with cream, sugar, and flavoring is surrounded by ice. The container and its internal wheel slowly mix the ice cream at the same time the mixture is slowly frozen from the ice.

Photos of the finished, tasty ice cream are to follow!
