What supplies do I need?
Check out the supplies on the workshop information page. Most supplies are not mandatory and you can substitute with things you already have.
How is the content delivered?
Great question. Each lesson day new content will be available to you in the private classroom. There you will find written text and one or more videos for the day’s lesson. I believe that the best way for you to improve your skills is to make lots of marks. So the videos are short and meant to inspire you to action.
Questions can be asked and answered in the classroom or on the private Facebook Group. The Facebook Group is a rich supportive resource that I suggest you become a part of, but it is not required. It is quite simple to be part of the group. You just need a personal profile and then I can add you to the group. There is no need to “friend” people.
Does the class meet at a certain time?
No. You do not have to be at your computer at a specific time.
After the daily videos and lessons are released 12:00 AM UTC, you will be able to access the information at any time that is convenient to you.
What type of computer or online skills do I need to participate?
You will need high speed internet access so that you can stream videos.
Students need one of these browsers up to date.
Desktop:
- Chrome
- Firefox
- Safari
- Microsoft Edge
Mobile:
- iOS Safari: 11 and up
- Chrome
- Samsung Internet
Do the videos have subtitles?
(The video do not have subtitles, but there is a simple way of adding them if you use Chrome as your browser. It is easy to set up. The ‘Live Caption’ setting then adds English subtitles. You can find out how to set it up here.)
Who is this class for?
Anyone who wants to explore mark making with the gelatin plate, found tools and learn to make some simple tools with cardboard, blocks and foam. Often the participants are mixed media artist, fiber artists, printmakers who don’t use a press, teachers and therapists, crafters and folks who like to take art classes online.
How much time is required each day?
Hmmm. Required is a strong word. You get out of it what you put into it.
So that said, nothing is ever required. My hope is that you will be able to use this course to commit extra time to your art practice – maybe 30 to 60 minutes a day depending on what we are doing.
How long will I have access to the materials?
You can download the videos and content to your computer to keep for personal use forever. You willl have online access to the classroom for 1 year.
How are payments handled?
Paypal and major credit cards.
What happens after I register for the course?
