The DIY culture is strong this weekend (Mar 17-18) when The Commons hosts over 30 workshops dedicated to food, drink, arts and crafts.

They’re enlisting a few heavy-hitters, too, like master of fermentation, chef Phanuphon “Black” Bulsuwan of Chiang Mai's Blackitch, who’ll give a guide to pickling (B1,200), and natural wine specialist Naturalista, who’ll give the basics of a “rowdy” wine pairing (B1,500).

Other top picks include a tutorial on speed brewing with Roots (pay as you feel) and classes devoted to double choc brownie- and pasta-making. For the full details, visit www.thecommonsbkk.com/workshophopping.
