 This workshop employs an impressive array of modern and ancient instruments to recreate the art of hand pressing and refining olive oil. Students pit fresh olives and squeeze them in a hand press; their juice is strained and spun in a centrifuge and distilled into pure oil. After which participants fashion wicks out of cotton and, when the oil is purified, light the menorah.
