Art Workshop - Food Styling & Tablescapes 101

Calling voracious fans of food blogs and cookbook photography—learn all the tricks of the trade from an experienced food stylist and artist! This workshop will cover the food styling basics that originated in commercial and editorial photo shoots, so that students can bring them home to their own table. Students will learn how to style a dish, compose a plate of food, set a gorgeous and unique table, and make a beautiful Nicoise salad fit for Instagram or their first post-pandemic dinner party. All edible techniques; no glue required. Bring your own tweezers! All food materials will be provided.

*Note: This workshop focuses solely on food styling; it does not cover photography.
