FREE BEADING CLASSES? - Survey

[Lorri Ely]

I have been thinking it would be fun to offer some beading classes and jewelry making classes here on the website. I could do a series of videos for each class or even do a webcast, then folks could post their questions and comments on the site, as well as photos showing their progress. I am wondering it there is any interest in such a thing, and if so, what types of classes people would want to see. Here are a few ideas, please comment back if you have an interest!

Wire classes (making wire chains, how to do wire loops, etc.)
Bead weaving
Basics of jewelry making
PMC - metal clay
How to make polymer clay beads
etc.

I want this site to be as fun and as useful as possible, so I hope to hear from you and get your ideas.

Hi Lorry Ely

It woul be fantastic to have classes on the web as I am leaving in quebec Canada it is not so easy to get to classes and sorry for the canadian friend but they are very restricted in their pattern for jewelry as well as their techniques specially in my area so please just do it

I bought my first camcorder this weekend and I spent a lot of time figuring out the software. So, once I get it down a little better, it will be easy for me to put my classes in video format on-line. So, stay tuned!

This sounds great!

OK everyone, thanks for all the comments. I am hearing you--more jewelry making videos and projects are coming soon :-) My video cam works great...but I find converting the images and adding the voiceover takes too long! I am trying to streamline the process so I can speed it up and get more videos and classes on here. I am dying to do some metal clay projects, so the next time I do one I will video it for you. :-)

[Michelle Du Pont]

OMG! YES! Definitely wirework, wire chainmaking and PMC! Thanks.
