Join us in Abbotsford, British Columbia for a focused two-hour, in-person Introduction to Sourdough Bread Workshop with Lou Meggiato of Wild Bluebell Homestead – serving Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley with traditional sourdough education and small-group baking instruction.

This structured, hands-on class is designed for beginners and home bakers who want clear, practical guidance on baking real sourdough bread. Over the course of two hours, participants will learn how to properly care for a starter, understand natural fermentation, and understand how to begin mixing and developing dough with confidence.

What you will learn:

• How a sourdough starter functions and how to maintain it properly
• Core fermentation principles and dough development fundamentals
• How to mix dough correctly and recognize early fermentation cues
• What to expect during bulk fermentation and proofing
• How to confidently complete your first loaf at home

What is included:

• A mason jar with a live, active organic sourdough starter to take home
• Guided in-class feeding instruction and starter management tips
• Lou’s comprehensive sourdough starter guide (English, with French available)
• Her trusted everyday sourdough bread recipe
• Access to a full step-by-step baking guide and video tutorial

During the workshop, you will demonstrate early-stage dough development and explain key fermentation indicators so participants understand exactly what to look for once they are home. Because a complete sourdough bake extends beyond the two-hour session, everyone leaves with the instruction and resources required to successfully finish their first loaf independently.

A curated selection of sourdough baking tools will also be available for purchase, including reusable bannetons, sourdough scoring lames, bench dough scrapers, bowl covers, jar covers, bread mats, bread bags, and reversible kitchen-utility aprons.

This Abbotsford sourdough workshop is ideal for Fraser Valley residents seeking hands-on, traditional bread baking instruction in a supportive environment.

Suzie LeBlanc, Soprano
Alexander Weimann, Harpsichord
Chloe Meyers, Violin
Grégoire Jeay, Traverso & Percussion

 

Four of Canada’s finest musicians in Baroque music will be here to present a program of music by Purcell and Bach as well as traditional tunes. Transverse flute player Grégoire Jeay comes from Montreal to join three Vancouver-based musicians. Suzie LeBlanc is the artistic and executive director of highly-regarded Early Music Vancouver. Alexander Weimann is the artistic director of the Pacific Baroque Orchestra, and his wife Chloe Meyers is concertmaster of the PBO.

Acadian soprano Suzie LeBlanc has been recognized with the Order of Canada and four honorary doctorates for her contributions in the area of Baroque music. Her seventy recordings include a Grammy Award and a CINI Award (Italy). She has toured on five continents and was invited to sing for the president of Czechoslovakia, Vaclav Havel.

While he is much in demand as a harpsichordist, Alexander Weimann is also highly esteemed as a conductor of Baroque orchestras having led such groups as Les Voix Baroques, Tempo Rubato, and the Portland Baroque Orchestra. His recording with soprano Karina Gauvin and the Arion Ensemble won a Juno Award in 2013. He is noted for his skills at improvisation on the organ and harpsichord.

Chloe Meyers enjoys a busy career as either concertmaster or soloist with groups like Arion Baroque Orchestra, Victoria Baroque, and Ensemble Les Boréades, among others. She teaches young artists in the Baroque Orchestra Mentorship Program at UBC. Meyers performed double concerti by Vivaldi together with Italian star Enrico Onofri and the PBO in our series in 2018. 

While his specialty is the Baroque flute, Grégoire Jeay also plays the recorder and various international flute styles. He has performed with such distinguished groups as Tafelmusik and Ensemble Caprice. Jeay is also a composer of note. Tafelmusik commissioned him to write a triple concerto for flute, violin, harpsichord, and orchestra. 

Suzie and her colleagues have prepared a program entitled: Wish You Were Here – Love, Longing, and Travel.

Four simple words—wish you were here—have echoed across centuries, scribbled on postcards, tucked into letters, and held quietly in the hearts of those far from home. Whether written from afar or in moments of longing, they reflect our human desire for connection.

From the expressive music of John Dowland and Henry Purcell to Acadian folk songs and echoes of Pink Floyd, join us for an evening of music and words exploring themes of love, distance, and the ties that bring us together.
