About Dumpling Making -Part II
(Georgian & American fusion Style)
Join FiDi Creatives & artist LuLu Meng, alongside collaborators Data Chigholashvili (Georgia) and Rowan Renee (USA), for another cozy afternoon of folding, tasting, and storytelling. We see the dumpling as a metaphor for people — varied in shape, texture, and "filling," just like us. There's no pressure for perfection here; imperfection is a gentle entry point for connection.
The Exchange — Data and Rowan share traditional techniques and flavors from their home cultures, opening a window into memory, foodways, and personal histories.
The Making — Get your hands in the dough and learn both Georgian (Khinkali) and American-style folds in a warm, communal studio.
The Fusion — Mix folding techniques, pair unexpected fillings, and make it your own.
The Roles — Shift between maker, server, guest, and host — everyone co-creates the meal.
The Find — In honor of LuLu's grandfather, a lucky penny is hidden in one dumpling. Find it, and good fortune is yours for the year.
What's Included
Guided, hands-on dumpling-making instruction
All fresh ingredients, tools, and recipe cards
A full cooking, tasting, and dining session to close out the workshop
