What does a painting taste like? Studio Mela invites you to get familiar with Israeli culture through the bond between food and art. This workshop is a practice of translation from visual arts to culinary arts. There will be a variety of raw ingredients with different colors, flavors and textures unique to Israeli cuisine at our disposal. With these materials you will design a bite that expresses the essence of the artwork you have chosen.
Together we will smell, touch, feel and taste each creation and try to identify which painting it was inspired by. This special small group experience will be capped at 30 people. Register today to reserve your spot. This is not to be missed.
This program will give us a taste of our newest initiative, Centered on Culture: Jewish Learning through the Arts, which officially launches in the fall.
