I am on Skillshare!

As many off you know I have been working on a large project this past month and a half. Well- It is finished and I am happy to be able to start talking about it.

I am not a particularly tech savvy person and as such the idea of doing a lot of digital work has been continually daunting, however I decided to take the plunge in January and teach a monthly zoom art workshop. Thanks to my immensely patient and kind students, I was able to work up the courage to produce a more permanently available course.

Over the last several weeks I have created my first Skillshare class. The subject is one that I have taught as a zoom class, 'How to create a time capsule sketchbook'.

I have tried out so many new things with this challenge, filming myself, using a separate microphone, editing/cutting, etc... I realize that for so many people these skills have become a standard part of modern life, but I am feeling particularly chuffed to have managed them and actually produced something watchable. On the 12th of May I published it on Skillshare. It is not perfect , first attempts rarely are, but I hope it will be helpful to those who watch it and inspiring to sketchers.

My theme is, 'How to Create a Time Capsule Sketchbook'. This has been an idea that has been developing over the past year and a half as we have been through several lockdowns. I created a number of sketchbooks, and looking back at them I realize that they capture a unique moment in history- in my history. I am flooded with memories as I flip through the pages. Worries, hopes, fears, dreams, expectations... It is my hope that I can inspire other artists and creative people to capture part of their experience in an artistic 'time capsule' sketchbook.

If this sounds interesting to you, I encourage you to check out my class. It is on skillshare under the title, 'How to Create a Time Capsule Sketchbook' accessible with this link: https://skl.sh/2Qhuodh

Skillshare is a subscription platform with a yearly fee of just under 100 euros. As a subscriber you can access all of the classes. I have been a subscriber for a year and have taken several classes. If you would like to view my course without paying the subscription fee you can do a free trial. Just be aware that you have to actually cancel or it will charge you the yearly fee. It doesn't automatically cancel:) I found this out by accident. Although I don't regret my subscription. I believe it is worth it, but want to be transparent with my readers.

I hope that you will check out my class and if you like it will press the like button and leave a review. It would be awfully helpful to me. I hope that it will encourage you to use your creativity to capture a snapshot of a period of your life you wish to remember. (It would even make a wonderful gift).
