How to Get Craft-Making Skills

Suggestions to look for Craft Classes at your area

When i think about my craft business satisfaction,running a close second to having customers buy my craft products but my craft products is going to school to learn new techniques or improve the old one.I really enjoy the whole pre-production aspect of getting new lines of craft or arts products going.

Even if youre not happy to go to school,its usually inevitable part of starting and growing our arts and craft business.It is entirely possible to be completely self-taught.But most things in life, if you have someone who knows what they are doing show you skill first,you'll probably learn and master the concept more faster.If getting four years degree at an art school or taking two weeks off to attend an art camp isnt possible.here are some alternative:

• attending classes at local technical school !

these schools can be privately owned or operated by your local school district.If paid for through tax of fee,their mission is to provide hand-on training enabling the students to secure employment.The classes usually useful and pretty inexpensive.

• signing up for Community College Art/Craft classes !

I used to teach a basic accounting class to non-business majors at my local community college.The mailboxes at the adjunct instructors were across campus so I had to walk past the arts department to get my mail.I was always very envious of the students taking the classes the classes.The instructors were dedicated and the equipment was stellar.


This is a bit more hoopla about taking classes at community colleges as you'll have to go through a formal registration process.Also,the classes will be more expensive than those taken at the technical school run by our own local school district.However some community college arts/crafts are offered independent study which is the good way to hone particular skills with expert supervision.Then you are not constantly waiting for the beginners in the class to catch up...everyone is a beginner at first !

• taking classes at teaching museum!

your local art/craft museum may offer classes as well.Sometimes the classes are taught by local or visiting artists.The instructors may trade free studio space at the museum for the class.It was clear that some instructors found its necessary inconvenience and did as little as possible.I've taken this class.These classes arent exactly cheap and there is usually lab fee involved and that was so vexing.So, my advice is to check the refund policy of any classes and see if you can get some feedback about the instructors before you signing up for any classes.
