Why take a Zingerman's baking class?

quote=173463

Misinterpreted how? Like, why learn something new and how to make good food, taught by  one of the most interesting food-related businesses in the region?

Depends upon the household, I guess. They're great gifts for my wife and me. 

I've taken three Zingerman's classes. Gifts. And most of the other  students in my classes received the classes as gifts. My wife completed a class last week. It was one of my Christmas gifts to her.

How can someone not like an 8-hour class on how to make Zingerman's  breads and get a chance to use their wood-fired brick oven?

I'll gladly receive more of these misinterpretations. 

So if  you know someone who likes gardening, canning, brewing, baking, or just +making+ in general and appreciates handmade, quality items, then that person will probably enjoy a Zingerman's class, and he or she will meet similarly like-minded people.

But justread, if buying me a baking class feels weird, I'd gladly receive gift classes for:

* intermediate crochet
* beginning welding

I've always wanted to learn welding. Someday.  I'll terrorize  and annoy the neighbors with metal monsters. And I'll resist "making acetylene bombs.":http://www.toledotalk.com/cgi-bin/comments.pl/13/2668#31373
