Over the past year, I've received requests to teach Painting with Fire Workshops from so many nice people across the country. I wish I could have accepted them all because I love to teach AND have a serious case of wanderlust! So, I did the next best thing! I've created a ning group for an Online Painting with Fire Workshop where you can view the videos when you want and how often you want! You say you live in Latvia? No problem! Ah, the beauty of the internet!
I LOVE THE NING GROUP FORMAT for so many reasons!
It's interactive!
Members have their own page!
Photos from the group greet you as you log in!
Online chats are our Q&A sessions!
Comments scroll down the sidebar!
The workshop details, along with the winner, will be announced on Monday. But until then, for a little fun, let's take a walk through my studio ... as it is!
Wow Barbara - this is awesome!!! I have announced the giveaway on my Facebook and going now to put a post on the blog. I am so excited and I can't wait to go and check it out!
Love your studio; it's a true working space and the natural light is terrific. Wonderful how you have the various dedicated work stations. It was nice to see realistic photos of a studio that is actually used instead of something that is pretty and pristine :)
Hi there. I'm a little confused about how to enter so I'm posting this comment here and sharing on my FB. I'd love to take one of your workshops someday. You are amazing.
Great idea, Barbara! Sounds like the next best thing to your coming to my home and teaching me personally (my dream if I win the lottery, by the way!). I shared on my fb page at www.facebook.com/mymicromacrame.
shoot...I commented in the wrong spot so now I will share it again! I think this is a great idea for anyone who can't get to an in person class with you
Barbara, I am happy to see you are offering your class online now. I know it will reach even more eager-to-learn students. I know this has been in the works for some time now and can only imagine all of the preparation it took behind the scenes. Speaking of behind the scenes, what a great studio tour video! It was nice to hear your voice again and walk through your space. This is your new studio in Fl, right? WOW what a set up - really a dream, with stations dedicated to everything from photo staging (loved the painted board photo prop idea) to metal work. Your in-person students are really in for some in-depth learning with a hands on studio like this. Maybe one day I'll make it to St. Pete! :-) I mentioned your new course on FB... thanks for the give away opportunity! :-)
Just posted about your ecourse on my facebook page, and I'm following you, too.
Your course sounds wonderful, I've often wished I lived close enough to take your classes. Love your book - purchased it a while back, too. Thanks...Linda L http://www.LamoreAllure.Blogspot.com
Luv your book already - the course would be the whip cream icing on a cherry topped cake! Following your blog, noted on my blog and linked you on my FB page! Thx for the opportunity!
Wow, I'd love to win this e.course. I have already purchased your kit to get started, but haven't yet tried it. This would be just the ticket to get me going. Thank you for the opportunity.
I am also going to post on facebook, twitter and my blog.
Wow, I love your studio...wish it was mine :) Can't wait to hear the details of the workshop. I just got your book in the mail yesterday and I can't wait to get started. I will post this on my FB page. Sonya
Barbara, you so amazing and energy level to boot. I love the idea of enameling and someday I will get there. I loved seeing your studio. It is reassuring to see that all creative people have organization that no one else would ever understand. I cleaned my studio all last weekend and I still can't see it. Anyway, best of luck with your new adventure. I think online is a wonderful way to touch everyone. Can't wait to see it unfold.
I blogged about your online course at http://www.cindycagecreativity.com/cjc/Blog/Entries/2012/2/23_enamels.html. I added a photo of my first enameled piece. Thanks Barbara!
Already posted on my fb pg. Wow it would be so awesome to be able to take your course. I've been in love with enameled beads for awhile but just didn't know where to start. I think enameled pieces would be a great addition to my skill set :)
Ok this might come off a little strange..so dont be scared ok...watching your video made me sick to my stomach...no no... not in a bad way..its just that sometimes feeling so alone in my little mixed media brain,I often think ...I know there are others out there..others like me,wacky and messy,lover of tools and stations,..so yes,I watched, and even though we have neve met(and yes we will soon)I feel as though I understand the way you think and create.A Totally inspiring Tour.Yes indeedy!Hugs,Cat
Oh Barbara...I love that idea...I bought the kit and the book some time ago and would love a more hand on course...I'll share on facebook too and I would be tickled to win....
Have tweeted about giveaway as well. Phew, been busy this evening spreading the word. Thank you again for offering such a great giveaway. I hope I win (have fingers crossed!).
Hi Barbara, WOW! You have a fantastic studio. And, lots of equipment too. I am in the beginning stages of setting up a website, and facebook page. But, I can not share, or post anything about the giveaway yet. Would I still be able to enter to win the giveaway? I'm keeping all my fingers & toes crossed, and my little doggie's paws are crossed too. :)
I would be beyond wildly excited to win the opportunity to take this workshop. Have wanted to take a class from you, Barbara, and this would be ultra convenient. Thanks for the chance.
I just became a follower of your blog. Don't know why I hadn't done it before.
This sounds like a great course!! I have shared it on facebook (but you'll just have to trust me cause I have no idea how to put a link to prove it...). I am off to share it on my blog AND I will start to follow this blog - seems to me like this is going to be a great blog to add to my growing list of blogs to read regularly!!
How nice of you to do this. I just shared on Facebook and would love to win and use the enamels that I've had sitting on the shelf forevah... :-) Thanks
congrats on this new endeavor! i purchased your book but have yet to try it. your e-course would be just the impetise i need. i facebooked and followed. thanks!
Barbara, I loved walking thru your studio. And, actually, all the stuff everywhere just made me feel at home. All those different stations are wonderful, and I LOVE the enameled bobbin!! Thanks for the tour and the giveaway! I am already a follwer.
