Hello all! Last week I announced that registration is now open for STITCHED - a collection of 20 video workshops taught by 20 different fiber artists. That quilt you see in the photo is what you'll learn in my workshop. :-) I've gotten a lot of emails with a lot of questions about how exactly these online workshops work - so here's some more info.
Registration is open now. Workshops open on January 1st. At that time you'll have access to all 20 workshops for all of 2012. You can do them in any order you want, at any time, day or night. That right there is my favorite thing about online workshops - I can do them in my jammies at whatever time is convenient for me. No driving. No babysitter. No having to be at a specific place at a specific time. I love it!
These are video workshops, so the lessons will primarily be in the form of videos. Most of the instructors will be breaking their project down into a series of videos - so that no one video is crazy long. My workshop, for example, is a series of seven videos. I love video lessons. It helps me so much to see the actual project being made in 3D instead of trying to figure out instructions from a book. I also love being able to rewind and watch the tricky parts as many times as I need to. :-)
So - it's mostly video. But every workshop also includes a PDF that you can print out and keep forever and ever. This PDF will include any pattern pieces, plus any additional info that would be best delivered in written form. In my workshop that will be a materials list, and a guide to what you'll learn in each step of the workshop, plus some tips and tricks for along the way.
Each workshop has its own online "classroom" where you'll find the link to download the PDF and the links to all the videos. You'll also find an area to chat with the instructor and all the other people currently taking the class. This is where you can ask (and answer) questions, share successes, etc. Nice!
So - registration is open now and the cost is $89 now just $40. The workshops are open now and will remain open for the rest of the year. During that time you can take as many or as few classes as you like. You can take them at any time that's convenient for you. You can work at your own pace. This is AWESOME! (Wouldn't this make a great gift?)
But wait - there's an extra little bonus I'm throwing in just for you guys. :-) Everyone who registers before June 4 through the link here on my blog will get a free pattern of their choice from my shop.
Sign up now. Clicking this link will take you to the registration page on the STITCHED website - but don't worry. Through the wonders of modern technology, if you get there from my site I'll get a notification when you register. (I love living in the future!) That will allow me to send you a welcoming email - and ask you what you'd like for your free pattern.
Please let me know if you have any other questions! You can leave a note in the comments or email me directly.
Have a great day!
Best,
Wendi
