It is that time of term again and I have been madly getting feedback so that I can schedule classes that you have had input into.
Classes have been moved to a Thursday night due to a large number of requests to do so, and will start in week two of term so that we all have time to settle into schedules again.
Single class: $15
Course of five classes: $65
Term Three, 2009
Class One: Thursday the 30th of July 2009
Workshop: flowers.
This class will be a mega workshop to make a heap of feminine and masculine flowers to grace your craft projects. It will be jam packed with ideas and techniques to make unique flowers. There will also be a bonus layout idea for you to use your newly made flowers on when you get home.
Class Two: Thursday the 13th of August 2009
Heavy metal!
This class will focus on faux metal technique, which will be used on our class layout. This technique is heaps of fun, versatile and great for masculine layouts but can equally be made to look funky and feminine for those with girls or scrapping about themselves.
Class Three: Thursday the 26th of August 2009
Transparent layout.
This class will use transparency as a background, with a twist! We will be revisiting some of our alcohol inking techniques so that you can get the most out of your inks.
Class Four: Thursday the 10th of September 2009
Grungeboard.
This layout will feature grungeboard, a fantastic type of chipboard that is extremely versatile. Wait and see what we will do with it!
Class Five: Thursday the 24th of September 2009
Fast album formulas.
This class will use a great new product to make your albums come together in super quick time. This style is great for holiday albums and baby albums where you want to get it scrapped quick, with a minimum of fuss or time.
Classes include personalised one-on-one help, full class notes with a picture of the layout for future reference, some specialised products to be used on the night, use of specialised tools specific to class, tea and coffee making facilities and a yummy supper. You will also have full access to the shop during class time.
Just a reminder that class payment is required at the time of booking and no places will be reserved without payment.
The above class timetable may change without notice.
