What is Craftsy?

Why Should I take a Crafting Class Online?
Online education is no longer just for schools and universities. Craftsy courses provide you the convenience of having a world-class instructor in your home, whenever the time is convenient for you. We’re all very busy. Sometimes our only free time is late at night when the kids are asleep. With online education you can learn on your schedule.
With many online learning opportunities being on-demand, you are able to learn at your own pace, anytime. For busy working parents with crazy schedules online learning is a fantastic alternative to those in-store craft classes. They also allow you the ability to watch a section that is giving you trouble over-and-over again, so you can see exactly how a technique is carried out, or refer back to your class for relevant concepts before beginning any new projects.
How Much Does it Cost?
The classes range in prices. Most of them are in the $30-50 range, but if you’re not sure if you’ll like online craft classes then you can test the waters by signing up for FREE Craftsy Classes!

That is interesting! I’ve taken cake decorating classes in person at our craft store, I’m sure the same thing could be done over video!
That’s interesting! I’ve never heard of Craftsy before but I think the cake decorating classes would be fun.
I love it! I find the idea of crafting classes quite appealing, but finding the time to ATTEND a class is another story. This would make it much, much easier.
I honestly don’t know how people find the time to attend an actual class. Between naps, and school, and sports, and the parent’s schedule family life can just be nuts!
How fun! I have good intentions to do things like this but just get so busy with everything else!
I hear ya. I always seem to have a ton of projects going at one time. I’ve been trying to get Nick’s Christmas stocking done since he was an infant. If I don’t get it done he’ll have to have a Babies 1st Christmas stocking for his third Christmas!
I’ve been meaning to check this out for a long time now and I keep forgetting. I’d love to take some classes to help with photography…thanks for sharing!
I really need to take some photography classes too. They’re on my list!
