We’ve got Spring! Actually, we seem to be getting near summer temps so these won’t last very long.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am taking a class with Diane of Craftypod<\/a> fame on how to run an online class. Now I have so many questions! Whenever I announce that I am going to run a class at my house, people pipe up and ask me to do an online class- that is why I am looking into the technicalities of it all.<\/p>\n

Now that I am actually having to think about the specifics, I’d love some feedback. My confession is that I have only ever taken one online class and that was probably about 10 years ago. I can hardly even remember it!<\/p>\n

What kind of class do people want? I can only really imagine (at this point) teaching the Tiny World Pattern<\/a>. What would someone want to get out of an online class that would be so much better than just buying the pattern? Or should I be thinking of a completely different kind of class?<\/p>\n

How long would a class like this go for? A week? When I teach it at my house, the class runs from 10 am to 4 pm and most people don’t finish. I know people probably don’t sit down for a whole day and go through an online class- or do they?<\/p>\n

One of the fun things about having classes at my house is that I have all the materials and fun tools to play with. Are people going to feel comfortable collecting everything they need? Do most project-type classes have kits with the supplies?<\/p>\n

On top of that, if you have taken craft project online classes, what do you like best about them? Why do they work for you? Should I go try out a few classes? If so, got any recommendations?<\/p>\n

I’d love to hear your feedback! If I can get some ideas that will narrow things down, I might do a survey but at this point, I wouldn’t even know what questions to ask!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
