Start & learn during class. Finish the homework on your own. Who wouldn't enjoy that? I learn by doing - actually making a project - so I generally go for a project class. And I've sometimes been disappointed for the very reasons you give. Great tips for finding a suitable teacher/class, Cyndi!<br /><br />Did you ever finish the piece you started in class or did you immediately move on to use the techniques elsewhere (as shown)? Just curious.Eileen The Artful Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281091759658067977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301121.post-40060099335451187422015-09-30T08:34:47.546-04:002015-09-30T08:34:47.546-04:00She's a really sweet person, very well suited ...She's a really sweet person, very well suited to both teaching and lecturing, and I'm so glad that I did this!

She did do a lecture I attended about 4 or 5 years ago and her work is wonderful. You've written a great post on pros/cons of classes. Good info for those who have an interest!!Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506964994589004458noreply@blogger.com
