2.5 hours Class size 1 to 16     label $150

Curious about how a whole pig gets butchered into primal and smaller cuts? Learn how to butcher a pig in this butchery class in Seattle! All your questions will be answered about specific retail cuts you see at the store or your favorite restaurant, or which cuts are used for sausage. This class is open to all skill levels, so even if you have some experience in this world you can learn more about curing applications and the art of charcuterie!

You'll join Seamus Platt of Norcino Salumi at The Shambles as he butchers a local, pastured hog carcass and discusses the various techniques involved. Discussion will include tools and maintenance, applications and cooking of specific cuts, and creative uses of trim and bones for a zero-waste experience.

This is a fantastic way to support your local farmers and producers while learning a new skill. If you're looking for exciting experience gift ideas in Seattle or are curious about butchery basics, this is both a fun and informative workshop!

Snacks will be served (included in the ticket price) and drinks served from The Shambles' full bar. You are encouraged to enjoy dinner in the restaurant after the class. A small selection of Norcino Salumi products will be available for sale after the class.

You will receive a take-home bag with an even share of the butchered pig; a selection of chops, steaks, ground pork and sausage. This is a light activity class with some cutting involved, but mostly observation and discussion.

Masks are optional during class. Your instructor is fully vaccinated.
