Have you had the opportunity to watch all the incredible classes from the Q Corner Convention yet? 

Since the convention, a number of the instructors have very kindly shared additional information to supplement their classes, including photographs and materials lists. To make it easier to find these for future reference, I have documented them, along with their class video, in a series of blog posts that I will publish over the next few weeks.
