Join Wenbo Yang, the 2024 US Latte Art Champion, in this intensive 3-hour workshop designed for baristas with prior experience in basic latte art. With a focus on perfecting technique and creating complex patterns, the session combines in-depth professional theory, clear demonstrations, and structured hands-on practice. Participants will refine their milk steaming techniques, like adapting to different steam intensities, followed by key theories of liquid flow, pattern formation, positioning, layout, and pouring control for advanced latte art. Supported by group rotations, real-time feedback, and a dedicated teaching presentation, every attendee will gain practical improvements and real progress in their latte art journey. Learning Objectives: 1. Review and refine fundamental milk steaming techniques for advanced latte art. 2. Understand the theory behind liquid flow, pattern formation, and layout for complex designs. 3. Identify and apply the key differences in movement, foam texture, and fusion for various advanced patterns. 4. Develop advanced pouring control and positioning for pattern accuracy. 5. Gain practical experience through group-based, hands-on practice with real-time guidance. **Prerequisite:** To benefit fully from this workshop, attendees should have some prior experience with milk steaming and basic latte art skills. This is not an introductory workshop.
