The Craft Chocolate Collective Jam Sessions

The Craft Chocolate Collective Jam Sessions is a space for anyone curious about the process of turning raw cacao into finished chocolate. We get together to share what we are learning, troubleshoot our equipment, and talk through the nuances of roasting, winnowing, refining, and tempering. Whether you have a professional setup at home or are just starting to experiment with a wet grinder in your kitchen, this is a place to connect with others who appreciate the craft.

These sessions are informal and collaborative by design. Rather than a formal workshop, think of this as an open studio where we can taste each other's bars, compare notes on different bean origins, and help one another overcome the inevitable challenges of chocolate making. We are just looking to build a local community of makers who enjoy the process as much as the final product. Bring a sample of what you are working on if you would like, or just stop by to chat and learn more about the hobby.
