The lessons for this class have been compiled from a previous online workshop and are listed below in the order they might be considered in learning these techniques. As you might know from my blog, I tend to approach things in a more informal format... so at the bottom of some of the lesson pages I did include some of the related what-iffing I did along with the class. These links are noted as "what if?" and might give you some extra ideas.
This course is part of a web hosted video instruction series. All lessons are also available in PDF format. You can download and or print the pdf files if you like. The PDFs contain links to the class lesson videos.
The lessons are listed below and also in the sidebar (except for Supplies and Intro which can also be accessed from the top menu bar at anytime) for convenience. You can also navigate through the lessons by clicking back or next on each lesson page. You can always return to this list by clicking "Home Page" at the top or bottom of the page.
