One of the best and most unique parts of Festive Haus are the charcuterie classes. We like to call it Boarding School, but it feels more like a party in an intimate setting. Festive Haus Owner, Jessie Gillham, teaches public charcuterie classes at Heights Corner Market in Little Rock.

These classes are ticketed, pre-sold events open to the public. During the fun, interactive, hands-on class guests learn the art and exact steps of making a stunning charcuterie board, the Festive Haus way! During class, Jessie shares all of her tips, tricks, sources and knowledge she’s learned over the past 5 years making charcuterie boards. Everyone leaves with a beautiful, fully assembled board that you have created to take home and enjoy. Guests also receive step-by-step printed instructions how to recreate a charcuterie board at home.

Each ticket includes:

• 10" x 14" reusable wooden board, artisanal cheeses, charcuterie and accoutrements to make a beautiful board ($140 value)

• step-by-step guidance led by Festive Haus Owner Jessie Gillham

• instructional sheet with pictures to follow along- how to recreate the beautiful board at home

• sample grocery list- how to shop for charcuterie board ingredients

• tips/tricks charcuterie styling sheet

• tasting plates to snack and taste the cheeses featured on your board

• cheese pairing tips and how to properly eat a charcuterie board with endless flavor combinations

In addition to my classes at Heights Corner Market, I also teach private, in-home classes. The private group classes are very fun, laid back and intimate classes taught in the comfort of your own home. Your group will learn the art of prepping, assembling and styling the perfect charcuterie board with instruction lead by Jessie Gillham. Guests will enjoy a fully assembled charcuterie board after the tutorial and receive a step-by-step guide to recreate a beautiful charcuterie board at home, sample grocery list and tips and tricks styling sheet. Add wine & beverage pairings to the mix and you have a very fun and unique party with a new learned skill!

Festive Haus offers two charcuterie class options to meet your needs and budget- a tutorial style watch and learn class, and a hands-on make your own board class. Email festivehaus@gmail.com to request pricing and information for private in-home charcuterie classes.
