Hot Java: Cool Mugs

A community educational component to the Beverage Rituals Exhibit. 4:30pm till 6:30pm. Krankies Coffee House, 211 East Third Street. Sponsored by Piedmont Craftsmen. The art of roasting will be demonstrated as well as a taste-testing of several distinct coffees and a presentation on the history of the vessel. Today, people meet for coffee or a drink after work and focus on the beverage, rather than the vessel that contains it. This event will present an opportunity to enhance a common occurrence and raise it to an uncommon level of sensory experience. $5 for Piedmont Craftsmen Members, $7 non-members. RSVP to 725.1516 or education@piedmontcraftsmen.org. Space is limited.
