Tonight’s ‘Craft Wars’ Infused with Tori Spelling’s Live Tweets

July 31, 2012 | by kdelmonico

As a Pinterest addict, I can safely say that DIY and crafting have become a minor obsession of mine. Though I have only surmounted some very modest crafting (yay for my self-made jewelry organizer!), I am consistently impressed with the creations of crafting pros, like those featured on TLC‘s Craft Wars. Not only are the contestants handy with a glue gun, but the judges, including Tori Spelling, have cut their crafting teeth as well.

During tonight’s episode, Tori will be tweeting live and telling us what she really thought of the crafty contestants and their creations. Her Tweets will appear live on air throughout the episode, giving viewers the inside scoop. Tune in at 8pm ET/PT to hear from Tori herself and make sure to hit her up on Twitter at @ToriAndDean! If you’re in need of more DIY, check out one of Tori’s tuTORIals below — and you can find more on TLC.com.

 

TLC Gets Crafty with Tori Spelling & ‘Craft Wars’

June 26, 2012 | by aharris

What do you get when you have three crafters, two competitive rounds of do-it-yourself projects and one $10,000 prize? Craft Wars! TLC‘s new series re-defines the art of crafting by showcasing imaginative contestants who put a modern spin on an long-treasured American pastime. Contestants will have access to a fully stocked craft closet designed to give them all the supplies and inspiration needed to create their crafts.

Actress, designer and avid crafter Tori Spelling is the series’ host and executive produce, serving as both a guide for the audience and a mentor to the contestants. Expert judges Stephen Brown, Erica Domesek and Jo Pearson will critique contestants on their creations and will decide who continues to the next round of competition.

Check out a preview below and don’t miss Craft Wars tonight at 10pm ET/PT on TLC.

Stars Come Out for Discovery Communications’ Upfront

April 6, 2012 | by aharris

Yesterday, Discovery Communications returned to Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City to host its annual Upfront for an audience of advertisers and press. While I shared news yesterday here about new and returning series coming to our networks, we wanted to give you a glimpse at the action — on stage and backstage — through the photos below.

I’ve been fortunate to attend several Upfront presentations and what always sticks with me is the feeling of family — from the team that works so hard behind the scenes to put on a great show to the talent across our nets that reunite or meet for the first time (where else can you find James Woods and Buddy Valastro both whipping out their iPhones to get a picture together?). I’m certainly proud to be a part of the Discovery family.
