August, 2008 Wouldn't you like to have detailed instructions for a number of projects or techniques so you could work on them whenever you liked, and at your own pace? As an added bonus you will receive help as needed on a one-on-one basis from an experienced and caring instructor who loves to teach ~ me! : ) Here's an email from a recent class participant about her online workshop experience with me . . . . . . "Wow! I can't believe I've finished my book! It's been a really wonderful journey for me. I especially am thankful for having established a routine of working in my studio. Thank you so much, Lenna, for offering this class. I've discovered new materials and learned new techniques."
Hello from Creative Lenna! 
A Little Creative Space, my on-line learning website is currently under construction. I am building this website myself . . . so it is slowly on it's way to completion. While you are here, check out the free tutorials! Velvet stamping is easy to do with gorgeous results. The Workshop registration information is up too. Keep watch on the sidebar to your left -- that is where you will find new pages added.
The Mini Art Quilt Book is my first online workshop available to purchase. This is a fabulous workshop for anyone who has been wanting to make fabric pages (quilties) and learn new techniques while working with an experienced artist and teacher. I have taught this workshop a number of times and it has been my most popular class yet! It is a five lesson workshop with a total of 169 pages of instruction, easily viewable as a PDF file with lots of descriptive photos -well worth the fee! Find out more specifics and read the workshop outline by visiting the mini art quilt book page.
There are three * Free Tutorials * now available for you to download ~ Velvet Stamping : : : How to make Quilties : : : and Fabric Stamping Basics. They all come with a PDF file of the tutorial linked on the corresponding web page so you can print the directions out to reference later.
A Little Creative Space is one more place on the word wide web where you can find me! At the bottom of this page are links to the other websites I'm either a part of, or that I write myself. The purpose of this new website is to offer a variety of mixed media art tutorials easily accessed for FREE with the ability to purchase longer, more in-depth online workshops ~ all in one spot! If you are looking for local (Avon CT) in-person workshops with me, look here.
On-line Creative Lenna Workshops
My on-line workshops come complete with email support for any questions you may have as you move through the lessons. Creative Lenna workshops consist of 3 to 5 lessons and each lesson includes 15-35 pages packed with information and photos to illustrate the text. All of the lessons include a series of step-by-step photographs with very clear directions on how to get from step A, to step B, to step C and so on, in order to complete the project.
"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 My first plan of action is to concentrate on organizing the lessons and free tutorials for A Little Creative Space. It's a lot of work but I am making progress toward a separate organized spot of my own dedicated to learning, creativity, sharing and fun! I am told I have a talent for teaching, and I would love to share this with you.
Thank you for visiting my new site and reading thus far.
Yours creatively,

"There are so many things from the lessons I haven't quite tried yet (like edging techniques) but I know that this notebook with the lessons in is something which will go back on my shelf to be referred to again and again, just like a really good book. So an extra thanks to Lenna for all the hard work she's put in. Frankly, the class didn't cost much more than a good book would have and you can't even measure how great it is to have the author there to answer questions."

"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. The cover ideas in the last lesson are well described. Thanks for all the work you put into preparing the class and keeping up with the forum (email) responses." ~ Carol (Swarthmore, PA)
