Four days of hands-on!
Step into a world where food is not just food, but a powerful tool for creation, reflection and connection. During this unique retreat, you will work with a small, diverse group of participants in the Food Design Playground-aninspiring location in a monumental building in the heart of Dordrecht.
What you will do
For four days, under the guidance of food designer and educator Marije Vogelzang, you will work on designing your own conceptual dinner. No recipes or food styling, but in-depth creative work with food as a medium. You will explore meaning, form, ritual and experience.
Whether you are an artist, designer, teacher, therapist, or curious food lover-you will be challenged to look at what food can be in a new way: a story, a memory, a gesture.
Your days consist of inspiring workshops, reflection, experimentation, and delicious communal lunches. You will develop ideas, receive personal feedback, and conclude by presenting and tasting your own edible concept.
