Online classes — what do you think?

May 22, 2013

So Stephen West has a new shawl class called Shawlscapes with Stephen West that just went live at Craftsy… this had us wondering, if you could take an online class with any Cooperative Press author, which one, and what would you want to learn? We would love to hear what you think!

Shannon has taught Get Published, her Designer 101 class and others online at her knitgrrl.ning.com site in previous years. With such a growing roster of amazing teachers, though, perhaps it’s time to expand?

Anna Dalvi, Kate Atherley, Annie Modesitt, Alasdair Post-Quinn, Heather Ordover, Tara Swiger…the list keeps growing! So what would you like to see?
