The Enriched Stitch just opened and already they are taking sign ups for classes. The really neat thing is that they allow folks to sit in on class remotely via Skype. Here are the classes that are planned for right away. Email the shop for more details and how to use Skype to sit in on the class. By the way, click on What We're Up To for more glimpses of the class models. They are also having a Jody trunk show.

UPDATE: Enriched Stitch is eager to have Skype students so if you want to take one of the classes via the Internet video connection that Skype provides, let them know ASAP.
By the way, Barbara Bergsten herself is going to participate.

Skype stitching classes! Wonderful! I do hope that the trend is taken up.
ReplyDeleteI specifically recently bought a webcam wuith a magnificent zoom. Only $19 from Ebay. Works like a charm sharing my work with my embroidery friends on Skype.
Isn't that great?! I use Skype to call family and we enjoy many a chat with the grandkids this way, so I am hoping many classes take up the Skype route for adding folks who can't travel to their student roster.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this out! We use Skype all winter long with my parents and in-laws. It's the next best thing to talking with someone face to face. Why not give it a try with needlepoint classes? This way it's an interactive learning tool, as opposed to just watching a video. Call The Enriched Stitch for more details. I'm looking for a few brave souls to test this out!
ReplyDeleteAs a person who can't travel often and who doesn't live anywhere near a shop, Skype classes are a real enticement. Good luck with this and maybe I'll see you in class!
ReplyDeleteWould love t have you in class!
