☕ Latte Art 101 at Augusta Lab

Our Latte Art 101 is a hands-on 2-hour workshop at Augusta Lab, led by Venice Vallega, former Canadian Latte Art Champion and one of the few people in this country to have competed among the world's very best on the international stage. She has trained for years at the highest level, and now she's bringing all of it into a small, focused class designed for complete beginners.

The lab is outfitted with two commercial espresso machines, which means one steam wand for every two attendees. You will get serious machine time. You'll pull real espresso shots, steam real milk, and pour your first latte art heart in a real specialty coffee environment, with Venice right there to guide you through it.

The class is capped at 8 people. That's intentional. It means you're not watching from the back of a crowd. You're in it.

By the end of the two hours, you'll have poured more cups than you can count, learned things about coffee you didn't know you didn't know, and walked away with a genuine new skill and a bag of specialty coffee to take home (because you'll want to keep practicing!).

What to expect:

• Welcome and introductions
• Intro to latte art and how it works
• A hands-on flow exercise before you touch any milk
• Live demo from Venice covering espresso, steaming, and the pour
• Open practice time on the machines with Venice circulating and coaching
