Bread Houses Network
I received a link from a Bread artist in Bulgaria who is taking her love of bread and her desire to build community around the world by creating BREAD HOUSES, in home workshops in which the art of baking bread gives time and space for conversation and rekindling traditional crafts. I love the idea of cultural revival centred around the practical/spiritual activity of baking bread. This theme will inspire two Art of Bread workshops planned for this winter and spring in Toronto. Look here for details in the new year.
Dear Warren,
I am happy that the Bread Houses Network inspired you and you would like to organize workshops. We could include you in the list of programs inspired by the Bread House model in various countries and add your link to our websites.
If you would like to develop a social enterprise Bread House, which is a bakery Bread House: Home of the Breads of the World, you could also write us and we can send you the details about this innovative social franchise initiative with bakeries+cultural centers emerging in various parts of the world, and you could also set up such a franchise in Toronto where I am sure it will have huge success, precisely because the network is quite global and it is easy for people to feel part of the world upon entering any Bread House in any country.
Finally, I will be in Montreal end of November for a conference, and if we could possibly meet there it would be fantastic!
Yours,
Nadezhda
