In your virtual or in-person private workshop

OVERVIEW

The goal of each Wiley Workshop is to build confidence and independence in your own home canning practice. Hosted by founder Chelsea J. O’Leary, private lessons are thoughtfully tailored to your individual food preservation goals.

Together, we can explore the science and safety behind canning, preserve a pickled vegetable side by side, or dive deeper into the world of preserving as we compare and contrast jams, jellies, marmalades, butters, and chutneys. Wherever your curiosity lies, we’ll design a Wiley Workshop to meet you there.
