About this Event

Experience the ease and versatility of cooking with cast iron in this two-part class series!

The first session will be a demonstration class focusing on recipes and cooking techniques where cast iron really shines. Attendees will be able to sample the foods that are made and alcohol will be available for purchase. We’ll also briefly cover seasoning and cleaning.

The second part of this class we’ll go in-depth into seasoning and refinishing cast iron, and we’ll get our hands dirty in the shop actually working to refinish a piece or two of cast iron cookware. If you have a piece that needs refinishing, please bring it along!

You can take either or both classes.

Dates: September 30 (cooking) and October 7 (refinishing); 6 – 8 pm

Supporter level tickets for this class:

Both classes - $80

Part 1: Just cooking - $50

Part 2: Just refinishing - $30

Registration is available on a sliding scale pricing structure.


SLIDING SCALE

Convivium is a nonprofit committed to helping increase accessibility to the tools and knowledge of how to grow and prepare your own food. As part of this commitment, and in pursuit of a more wholesome and secure food experience for all, Convivium is now offering most of our classes on a sliding scale.

The sliding scale system allows for classes to be obtained at multiple price points, based on the circumstances of the participant. It allows folks who may otherwise be priced out of something to have the chance to take part in it.


How it works

When completing your registration, please self-select from the following three payment levels:

Contributor: The contributor level is a pay-what-you-can option that allows you to do just that – pay what you are able to for the class, at this time. Please note there is a $5 minimum per the Eventbrite platform. If this minimum, or paying with a credit card, is a barrier, please call us at 563.557.2900.

Supporter: The supporter level is the normal ticket price of this class. It covers all the supplies and materials needed, as well as the instructor fee.

Sustainer: The sustainer level is a buy-one, give-one model that covers the complete cost of your class plus a small donation that helps supplement the cost of a Contributor level participant. By choosing this level, you are ensuring we can continue to offer this class in a way that is accessible and affordable to all – thank you for your generosity.

A note on refunds:

Convivium Urban Farmstead has a no refund policy for all classes and workshops. If you are unable to participant in the class after you registered, your fee will be donated to our pay-what-you-can sliding scale level, which helps to ensure our classes are accessible and affordable to all.

However, if Convivium cancels or reschedules a class for any reason (weather, instructor illness, etc.), participants will be notified as early as possible by email and their registration will automatically be transferred to the date of the rescheduled class. In the case that the participant cannot make the rescheduled class date, Convivium will issue a gift card in the full amount of the class that can be used toward any future class. This gift card can be mailed to the participant or picked up at Convivium (2811 Jackson St. Dubuque, IA 52001). We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your cooperation.

Inclement Weather Cancellation Policy: We will refer to the State Police website and road condition designations. https://lb.511ia.org/ialb/winterdriving/routeselect.jsf

If the majority of the roads in Dubuque are designated “Travel not advised” (purple) or worse, then we will cancel class.

The cut off time for cancellation will be 5:00 p.m. the day of each class.

We will email and post cancellation notices on Facebook.
