The Creative Connection

Chris Bylsma

I am stunned by the talented people who can knit, let alone knit something they can actually wear.  I am sure once you learn to knit and you practice your skill, I’d imagine you start dreaming up your own creations.  If that sounds like you, then the class we’re offering through VOGUEknitting by Chris Bylsma is perfect.  Design In A Day Chris will teach this class in 2 parts.  Before you know it, you’ll be on your way to designing next winters sweater.  Chris is known for her Crayon Box Jacket and many other unique patterns.  You can view more of her patterns on her website.

Diane Cu & Todd Porter

Just ask any successful food blogger and they’ll tell you that knowing how to take a good photo is key. It doesn’t matter how good your recipe is if the photo doesn’t do it justice. At THE CREATIVE CONNECTION, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from photography pros, Diane Cu and Todd Porter on how to bring life to your edible creations.  Diane and Todd were the official photographers for Cristina Ferrare’s cook book.  Cristina is one of our Keynote speakers.

Todd and Diane’s class Edible Images: Food Photography and Styling that Make People Want to Eat Your Photographs is a part of our MARYJANESFARM Day.

You’ll learn basic lighting and editing techniques and how to make “ugly food look good”.  Not that you’re making ugly food, but sometimes the best tasting foods aren’t the most photogenic.

Todd and Diane will also be teaching Photography to Boost Your Creative Voice (Basic Digital)

These classes sound fascinating.  You can read more about Diane and Todd on their website.
