So here's the deal. Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, I had a brainstorm about how to share technical info online. I was at a trade show, on my way to eat breakfast, and called Charles (may he rest in peace) at Northstar Glass. We had a great discussion about how to best utilize technology to bring high quality information to glass artists via the internet.
That was about ten years ago now, and as technology has advanced, the idea has morphed into webinars like this.
What with the economy tanking and classes not filling because foks aren't traveling as much these days, I wanted a way to fill the gap. AND THIS IS IT.....
So now, for about the price of two good dinners (and a drink) you can sit in the comfort of your home and get personal classes from awesome instructors.
We share lots of video footage with you. The instructor, who appears on your monitor on the right hand side, with the video on the left, narrates the footage live....stopping here and there along the way to answer questions and focus on important points.
Where do the questions come from? From YOU!!!
There's a chat window, and you type in all of your questions, comments, and innermost thoughts on the subject. During, and after, each video segment, Lisa will answer your questions at length.
The whole thing is recorded, and
you'll be given a link to watch it as often as you like for 30 days after it's over.
It's a great way to learn, up close and personal. We do hope you'll join us!!!
