The making of garden focaccia
Students in Ms. Jimerson’s Middle School Studio Art class made “garden focaccias”. Using dough prepared from a King Arthur Flour recipe: students shaped their dough, brushed it with olive oil, and carefully created their “gardens” atop the dough using sliced vegetables, herbs, seeds, olives and capers.
Their creations were baked by Ms. Jimerson and WUHS senior Charlotte Nunan, Ms. Jimerson’s TA for this class. When the students sampled their creations, they all concluded that they were not only pretty but really yummy!
This was a fitting conclusion to their recent study of botanical illustrations, which included a multi-day visit from Susan Sawyer, a renowned botanical illustrator.
