On Saturday, May 10th from 2:00 to 4:00 PM the Marblehead Arts Association (MAA) through its Programs and Education Committee will host well known chef-owner of “Sticky Rice,” Amorn Phongtong, for a single workshop “The Art of Carving Fanciful Fruits and Vegetables.” Mr. Phongtong will share with the audience the traditional Thai art of creating beautiful centerpieces and garnishes from various fruits and vegetables.

This is a hands-on event where participants will be able to create their own works of edible art! Mr Phongtong will provide examples of his fine works such as delicate flowers and beautiful fish for attendees to use as inspiration, as well as the basic skills to create their own individual expressions.

Amorn Phontang is a graduate of the Hotel Training Institute in Thailand and has worked for such notable establishments as The Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental and the Disney Cruise Lines. He has been owner and chef of the local restaurant “Sticky Rice” for nearly six years.

“We are pleased to bring Amorn back to the Marblehead Art Association for this fun and enjoyable event,” states Nicholas Delegianis, Chair of the Programs and Education Committee. “This is an ideal event to do with your mother on Mother’s Day weekend or the perfect opportunity to create that fabulous centerpiece for her special dinner the next day.”
