This is a B.Y.O.M “Bring Your Own Machine” workshop. I will have 1 extra machine for someone to borrow on a first come, first served basis. Please reach out to Lauren via email at Lauren@wholegrayn.com before you purchase a ticket, to confirm the extra machine is still available.
Masks are required. This is not required by the restaurant, but of me (the host and teacher.) This keeps our community safe and our immunocompromised pals included in the fun <3 There is an outdoor patio, if you haven’t worn masks in awhile and need a break. You are welcome to wear your own mask, but I will also provide them to whoever needs one :)
This ticket is set up for sliding scale pricing and has a limited number of tickets in each price level. Please select the pricing option that best fits your financial situation. A portion of each ticket benefits the restaurant for collaborating with me to provide your food experience. Thank you for supporting both myself and Ming’s.
