5/31/2023 0 Comments Somewhere To Be by Amy Yip![]() ![]() ![]() I was making one, and then two, then three cakes. I remember having a zoom birthday, it was so sad. Friends were requesting them, people wanted to make birthdays more special because you could only have these small gatherings. Why did you start baking during this time, was it just to keep you busy during isolation? I only left my job two months ago and it was during the pandemic that I started baking. After I graduated in 2016, I started my career as a textile designer, working for Club Monaco (then owned by Ralph Lauren). I ended up in San Francisco studying a BFA in fashion at the Academy of Arts and then I discovered textile design and fell in love with that even more. I enrolled in art school in New Zealand, and did that for a few years, and then I decided I wanted to study fashion design. I have always been creative since I was little, always drawing stuff and I had two older sisters who were really creative, so I feel like that also guided me. My parents are bakers so I grew up in that world and I saw how much work it was and I really did not want to do it, I really wanted to get as far away as possible. ![]() ![]() Can you tell me about your background and how you came into cake making? ![]() 5/31/2023 0 Comments Camp Olvido by Lawrence Coates![]() ![]() Her talk will begin at 6 p.m. in 204 Fine Arts Center. 11 – The ARTalk series begins with “Strings, Folds and Rabbit Holes” by 1981 alumna Kristy Deetz, arts and visual design professor at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
