Priority Access: Join the Waiting List

Be the first to know when there are spaces free, enrolment opens, or cancellations arise

Dr. Vanessa Kimbell in the garden at The Sourdough School

Our approach to bread is both art and science. We don’t teach you to make bread, but to craft bread that is uniquely suited to you. This takes time, and much like an artisan approach to bread, understanding you and your needs is what makes a course here so special.

With small class sizes and each course being unique, spaces in our courses at The Sourdough School are often booked up well in advance. So, places are limited. To secure your chance to join, we invite you to join our waiting list.

Priority Access: You will be the first to hear about cancellations and new course dates, giving you the opportunity to secure a place before enrollment is made public.

Personalised Contact: When courses are about to be made available, we will personally invite you to schedule a call to discuss your participation in detail and ensure the course aligns with your unique needs.

Limited Availability: Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Admissions are thoughtfully selected, so please provide information that helps us personalise your participation.
