More free tutorials will be uploaded soon and all of the tutorials include a link to a pdf file so you can print the instructions for easy reference later. See all available online workshops listed in the sidebar to your left. The workshops have multiple lessons filled to the brim with information and step-by-step photos. The lessons are very complete, but if you need help you can easily find it via email. read more information on HOW it all works is here.

Creative Lenna Workshops

My on-line workshops vary in size from three to five lessons and each lesson is a 15-40 page pdf file. Lessons come complete with email support for any questions about the material. I am more than happy to help you as you work through the lessons presented in pdf file form. Each file is filled with information and numerous photos to help illustrate the instructions. All lessons include step-by-step photographs with clear directions on how to get from step A -to step B -to step C . . . making the project easy to do and fun to complete!

Lessons are available for purchase at any time. To make registration easier and quicker I am in the process of inserting PayPal buttons (11/20/11). If you do not see an Add to Cart button for the workshop you are interested in, please email and ask for an Invoice to purchase the workshop.

All Creative Lenna workshops can only be purchased via PayPal. After your payment is made I will email you the materials (lessons, supply list) if there's no PayPal button on the workshop page. For the online workshops that do have the PayPal payment buttons installed, the bonus is that as soon as you send your payment to PayPal and it has cleared you will automatically receive a link to download the workshop instructions. Download links are handled by e-junkie.

Creative Lenna workshops are offered on an ongoing basis throughout the entire year. You will decide when you are ready to start and the pace of your lessons. Full details about registration for the workshops can be found on the Registration Info page.

Group classes are a lot of fun can be accomodated for those who want to work together. Let me know if you would like to arrange a group class, which could be done through a blog, or an online group. Here's an example of a flickr group for an online workshop. This group belongs to Mary Green and her Your Vintage Gluebook class which is also highly recommended!

While all of my workshops are self-paced, I am only an email away to help you as needed with any questions or to critique your class work and give suggestions.

Wouldn't it be great if you could have detailed instructions for a number of projects and techniques to work on whenever you like, at your own pace? My lessons are your answer! As an added bonus, how about receiving help on a one-on-one basis from an experienced and caring instructor who loves to teach and inspire? -- well, you are in luck - that's me! : )

Below is an email from one of my online class participants about her workshop experience with me. It is typical of the responses I receive:

"I want to thank you for the clear, concise lessons . . . and inspiration that you have provided. I taught for 25 years and I know how difficult it is to explain and teach techniques, everyone learns so differently. I can't imagine teaching on-line. Your ability to be there to inspire and explain is extraordinary. I feel like you opened a door within me that has given me the freedom to play and explore and what fun I am having. The class was wonderful and all of you that joined me in this class are amazing! Thank you!!! I understand that more classes are on the way, I am looking forward to any class you are teaching". Thanks, Vickie ~ Mini Art Quilt Book Workshop

Thank you for visiting my teaching site!

If you have any questions about my workshops, please e-mail.

Yours creatively, Lenna

"I think this on-line class idea is wonderful. It has been my first class and I might add a great first experience. The instructions are well written and illustrated. Lenna your response to questions is prompt and helpful and even better, encouraging." ~ Carol (Swarthmore, PA) The Mini Art Quilt Book Workshop.
