CraftJAM Success!!! CrafTECH University Craft Classes

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in CrafTECH University's 1st Annual CRAFT JAM!!  What a great way to start the new year on a creative note.  Our teacher put in lots of time to teach really great classes and our students were right there, ready to learn!!!  We couldn't ask for more.

The class begun withmy Hardware Chic class.  This class featured some wirewrapping in combination with materials you'd commonly find at a hardware store.  At the beginning of class several students commented that they were pretty confident that they wouldn't be able to do this....and the big suprize at the end of the class was that they really did!! But then again,I had confidence in them the entire time!!!

Kelly G from California was one of those who was pretty confident that she wouldn't be able to pull off the design, but at the end she said "She was totally amazed that she could do it!". I shared ideas and techniques on how to create your own findings, toggles and more.  In case you missed it, I will repeat the live class in February - just stay tuned for details. 

Tiffany Windsor, host of Cool2Craft and her new online show - Inspired at Home with Tiffany Windsor held a class devoted to her product Cool2Cast.  I had never personally used the product, but CRAFJAM was a perfect time to learn!  Tiffany share amazing techniques on how to pour - yes there is an art to it, how to finish, color, stamp and all sorts of things to make beautiful embellishments for multimedia projects or to wear as jewelry.  Personally I focused on the pouring and  - Thanks to Tiffany, I dug out every kind of mold I had and every thing else that might make a cool cast!.  If you took the class, please email me pictures so that I can post for all to see.  Tiffany will be holding Cool2Cast classes on a regular basis and Im sure she'll be repeating this basics class in the near future.  Thanks Tiffany for a great 2 hours of creative play!

Samantha Star a regular featured guest on Cool2Craft rounded out the day with terrific papercrafting techniques.  Her class was originally called 10 Terrific Techniques and featured cardmaking, however, we lost count at 10 techniques because we learned so much!  My favorite happened to be the mosaic technique, which other's commented that it was there favorite too!

Amanda M.  finished all three of her cards shared this one featuring my favorite mosaic tile technique.

Samantha wants to hold monthly classes at CrafTECH University, so please check back for her scheduled classes.

With all the positive feedback from the class, Im sure that this will become a feature of CrafTECH University.

We'd love to hear from you - so give us your feedback!

See you soon at a CTU class!
