Play! at Home: Learn to Have More FUN with Help from 7 Top Teachers
Taught by Stacy Julian and Friends
Clear your calendar, ignore your to-do list, and slip on your silliest socks. You deserve a brief escape from the pressures of your daily life—into the world of Play!
Join us inside this special online classroom, where seven of our top teachers will inject a playful spirit into your photography, your storytelling, your scrapbook-page designs, and your life in general. We recorded 9 hours of inspiration and instruction at our live Play! event in Anaheim, California this January. And now it's all available to you.
This series of seven inspiring classes—with accompanying bonus videos, handouts, and downloads—will fill you to the brim with enough fun and frivolity to make 2014 your most playful year yet.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Log in to our private online classroom and watch any of the live recordings in whatever order you want, as many times as you want! There's a 3-hour Product Playground, where Angie Lucas and Wendy Smedley interview our favorite manufacturers as they present their latest product lines and featured projects fresh from the Craft & Hobby Association winter tradeshow. You'll also have access to the live recordings and all of the supporting videos, downloads, and handouts from our seven incredible instructors. They will educate and inspire you. They'll make you laugh. They may even make you cry.
