Evo Conference: A Food Workshop
One of the highlights of the EVO Conference was the fantastic 4 hour food workshop held on the Friday over lunch at Lookout Cabin.
During this workshop, we enjoyed a fabulous lunch outdoors with the most spectacular view, we then participated in a hands-on cooking class with award-winning Executive Chef John Murcko and a food photography class with amazing food photographer Helene Dujardin of Tartelette.
To get to Lookout Cabin, you need to take the orange bubble express. It's about a 20 minute ride to the top of the mountain, but on the way back down, the view is breathtaking.
Can you see the large building in the center of the shot? That is The Canyons resort where the conference was being held.
Tips: Photographing and storing kids artwork
As a crafty parent of three children, our garage could quickly become over-run with craft projects, artwork and clay sculptures. Here’s my trick though. I photograph it. We have dedicated one wall in the kids’ play room; it has two ropes and large clothes pegs on it. Artwork is rotated as it comes home from school. The artwork that comes off is photographed and recycled or used as gift wrap or gift tags. Some larger creations and craft projects are used to decorate their bedroom or play room. For example, the butterfly below is currently clipped to the blind cord in the play room.
At the end of the year I make a book of artwork for each of the kids. I choose photographs of a variety of craft projects created using different mediums – paint, clay, beading, and craft kits to name just a few.
