Why should I take a class online?
Online education isn’t just for schools and universities anymore. Craftsy courses provide you the convenience of a world-class instructor in your home, whenever you want to learn. Online education, no matter what subject, is a great alternative to in-person classes for a number of reasons.
With many online learning opportunities being on-demand, you are able to learn at your own pace, anytime. Online learning is a fantastic alternative to in-store craft classes for people with busy schedules or who have difficulty leaving the house. It also allows you to watch a troubling section over-and-over again, so you can see exactly how a technique is carried out, or refer back to your class for relevant concepts before beginning any new projects.
I love that Craftsy offers many Free Classes including knitting, sewing, quilting, cake decorating and more. Be sure to head over to Craftsy and check out all the learning opportunities available.
My husband has been taking all kinds of online classes: public speaking, guitar, woodworking, bicycle maintenance and repair... and he's loving it. But I hadn't found anything that tempted me with my schedule and certain other temporary difficulties - and beside what I'm really looking for are creative crafts - so Craftsy is right up my alley -
ReplyDeleteIt's sounds just perfect and I can't wait to get started (I'll let you know what classes I decide on and how the experience goes.) Reading along I was both exciting and a little worried: waiting for the other shoe to drop: mainly how much to the classes cost or more likely some kind of membership fee etc.
I'm so delighted to see that it's free! Thanks for the intro!
