Card making classes...
... full of fun and learning.
You are never too old to learn, and card making classes, or any class for that matter, can improve your skills ten fold.
Join the growing number of people who want to improve, or learn something completely new.
An excellent idea if you are really new to card making is to join card making classes. There are a lot of very talented people out there who are more than willing to share their knowledge with you.
It maybe a special technique that you want to learn or a particular way to fold a card. Perhaps you want to try out some new product before you go to the expense of buying it.
When I started to make cards I did a lot of searching on the internet at what other people had to offer. I looked at websites and loads of blogs from people all over the world.
They showed the photos of the beautiful cards they made, but apart from telling me of all the new things they had bought they didn't tell me what to do to get the same results.
This was one of the reasons I decided to make my own website and fill it with the help that was needed for someone just starting out and not knowing what to do.
It doesn't matter if you don't have the same stuff I have used, (One pink paper can sustitute any pink paper I may use...)
Another route to consider is your local craft shop. They may run various workshops that may last for two or three hours, as an evening class, and they are a good source of information, and relatively cheap.
My local craft shop is running one this weekend on Copic Markers and I will be there with my little box of pens to learn all I can.
You can never stop learning, there is always something new in the world.
Look in your local gazette. This is where the talented people will adverise any new card making classes they are about to start. But places are usually limited so it's a good idea to get in early.
The library is also another good place to ask, and don't forget the colleges as they sometimes run courses on papercraft designing, or using the PC if you want to try digital stuff.
Remember the ever busy and informative
craft fairs,
there you will find people who demonstrate their skills during the show, but some also do evening classes that you could join. Ask the demonstrator about any future classes.
Maybe you can afford to go on a full day workshop and these are run around the country (UK) throughout the year. If you know other crafters then make a day of it and all go together. And you will come home with all the cards you have made on the day.
Perhaps you could extend it to a weekend trip and enjoy some sights of the area you are in at the same time.
There are also longer breaks away for the card maker and these can be in the country or even a on a cruise. Now that I could go for...how about you?
Card making classes and a cruise....Mmmmmm Heaven!
All ideas to get you thinking of ways to gain more knowledge. And some even offer you advice on how to build your hobby into a business if that is the way you would like to go.
