I Like

Thank you LeeAnna for these questions. 

"Is there a class you'd like to take? What would you learn or do in this

class? Is there a person you'd like to study with?"

How long do you like classes to be? A semester or one day?  Have you
seen a class actually offered you'd like to do?

I like learning and try to avail myself of it as much as possible.  It is really easy for me to dive down a rabbit hole of research.  I like listening to podcasts while I am making art as that is a two-for-one deal.   I like teaching classes.  

Taking classes I have become less enamoured with over the years.  Two online classes I purchased were guaranteed to have lifetime access.  A very short time later they were discontinued!  That was disappointing.  The last in-person class I took was many years ago.  It was with a friend so that was fun.  I didn't learn all that much and find that is the case with a lot of classes.  In one class I took many years ago the teacher was so poor the other students were coming to me for an explanation!   I do not say all of this to toot my horn.  

There is so much that I do not know.  But I do know how to be a good teacher.  I have taken workshops from some pretty bad teachers.  They might be good artists but their teaching skills are definitely lacking.  All of this is to say that I prefer books, Youtube and blogs.  I can stay at home in my pjs with a good cup of coffee and learn all I want for next to nothing.  That makes me pretty happy.

Pictured above is my sewing/embroidery altered book.  It is really tough to show this book properly.  The left-hand side has a number of folder-type pages that all flip open.  The right-hand side has some vintage stitching and some of my own ribbon work.  Plus a tiny book tucked into the lace.  I will show more of it next week.
