BR Walls invites you to paint … Gingerbread workshop at LCI

‘Water’ colors: Wednesday, Dec. 12, join the BR Walls project for a live-collaborative painting experience with an art auction fundraiser to follow at downtown bar Mud and Water. Food will be provided by local food trucks, and drinks will flow across the newly renovated bar from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Click here for more information.

Learning together: It’s a great time to learn to cook with your kids at the Louisiana Culinary Institute this Saturday from 10 a.m.-noon. Pastry Chef Angela Wilson will teach you how to create an edible ornament for the holiday table; or you can decorate your own gingerbread house, gingerbread man and gingerbread lady. She’ll show you how to build a house, and then you’ll be able to decorate one that’s been constructed for you. Candy canes and edible decorations will be supplied. Click here for more info.
