15 Dec Sienna Orlando-Lalaguna
Sienna (she/her) is a potter, cook, gardener, plant-lover, mystic, and all-around craftswoman. Raised in the Sacramento Valley on a family farm, she grew up crawling through the spring weeds, eating warm summer peaches, and working in the orchards and dehydrators during harvest time. She started her first garden around age 12, and began studying ceramics in 1999.
After a stint in culinary school and working in professional kitchens, she interned at a farm to learn organic gardening and sustainable living in 2003. She now has more than 20 years of experience in canning and preserving food, with thousands of jars sealed, opened, and enjoyed. She continues to develop her own recipes, and tends a perfectly-sized kitchen garden and maturing food forest at her home by the Sacramento River, where her pottery studio is also located. Her holy trinity of gardening, cooking, and pottery are intertwined in a seasonally-based, locally-grown lifestyle which she hopes to share with those who are interested!
Sienna will be sharing Water-Bath Canning.
