Play With Your Food

Workshop | Facilitation | Collaboration

This was a collaborative project between OHK Café in Kinsale, Punch + Fable and Rituals of Plate.

A fun and experimental evening of banquet style dining with OHK’s delicious seasonal sharing plates and designing a cotton tote bag to take home. Inspired by the beauty of edible nature and the OHK EATS evening menu, we slowed down together using a combination of observational drawing and mindful eating techniques. This was followed by a lively play with colour where we experimented with colour mixing using some food powder pigments found in nature! We then painted and printed onto our tote bag – all the while dining on delicious food and chatting as we went.

Steph guided participants through the entire design process from inspiration, drawing, colour mixing, to product creation. Guests came away with a belly satiated with OHK bites, new friends, new design skills and an original cotton tote bag they’ve designed to reuse for everyday grocery and market trips.

“This event started out as a collab of food and design but Steph brought so much more to the ‘table’ from exploring mindful eating techniques to slow food topics and overall wellbeing, her spirit and approach is infectious - it was such a treat to have you at OHK.”
