Craftsy classes?
Has anyone taken a class from Craftsy. A local guild is having a teacher that also has classes on Craftsy. I am wondering if the "in person" class would be better than an online one that you could watch whenever you wanted to.

I have enjoyed many of the Craftsy classes, but a live class taught by a real professional is a whole different experience. I would definitely take the class in person.

I haven't taken a class from Craftsy but I prefer the "in person" experience. I also meet a lot of neat quilters in classes I have taken. You really don't meet anyone new taking a class online.

I have taken 2 free classes and love them. I work full-time and love the flexibility of being able to view them at any time.... for as many times as I need.

I have taken crafty classes that have worked well for me- since I work nights it is difficult to catch an in person class.the classes are well done. I Love managing to go to classes/ workshops our guild hosts though-- it is always great to have the real person instead of a video and questions, interaction are personal and immediate. Even if I take 10 Genny Beyer classes on crafty, if she came to town I would do what ever I could to go. ( or any other teacher who I enjoy )

Craftsy classes are great! I've definitely a lot learned from them. Because of limited mobility, I can't sit through live classes very easily so I appreciate the opportunity to take them online at my own speed. However, as Judy explained, it is really nice to get feedback from a live instructor & to be able to ask back-and-forth questions during a workshop. Also, if I can't see the detail on something, at a workshop I can go up or ask for the item to be passed around. Craftsy videos are excellent & usually they provide enough close-ups, but not always.
If I had the opportunity to take both (Craftsy classes go on sale from time to time, usually around holidays & Easter is coming up), I'd do both. If I had to pick one & was physically able to attend the workshop, I'd pick the workshop. |
I've taken 4 classes so far - two with Angela Walters and two photography classes. Love, love, LOVE that I can go back and look at the lessons any time I want. And, believe me, I have! You can't do that with an in-person class. Plus, I didn't have anyone asking to borrow my tools, asking "What did she mean by that?", or distracting me in general. Having the teacher available to ask questions is great. I don't feel like everyone is rolling their eyes at me when I ask a question! Yep, I'll take one of these classes anytime over an in-person class. It feels like I'm their only student, one-on-one.

I have signed up for a boat-load of craftsy classes and had mostly good experiences. Who is the teacher?
The nice thing about craftsy is that you can watch and re-watch the lesson however often you need to. With a in-person class, once the time is up and you go home, all you can count on is your memory and notes. |
I've taken a Craftsy class with an instructor that did a workshop for our guild - Well worth both - in my case, it was Jacqui Gehring.
