There are 2 assignments .

Assignment One for the week 18-24.02

Make a ceramic water-sealed fermentation pot
We have 3 groups and each group will make a pot. You decide on the size and shape. All you need to follow is the functionality.
Make the pots before the vacation, and bake them after the vacation! That is the plan. Here is how the fermentation pot looks

Assignment Two for the week 25.02-03.03

Food Preservation During the vacation you will go to one of Rotterdam's markets (or any shop that has leftover vegetables or fruit) in the end of the day. That is when usually a lot of damaged or easy to go bad fruit and vegetables are just given for free or left to take.

Step 1

You will take whatever is either very cheap, or left for grabs.

Step 2

Since the taken fruits or veggies are likely damaged or soft or very close to going bad, there are two things you could do in order to make use of them. First, you could cook or eat them right away, or preserve them in some form, so they can be used gradually over time.
You will choose a food preservation method and apply it to what you have collected. The options are:

1. Dehydration (drying)
how to dry food at home

2. Canning
How to can stuff

3. Jamming
Jammin
