In this workshop we will be covering all the basic steps needed to get you started with stamping. Ideal for complete beginners and those wanting a refresher, I will take you through the basics and show you some great cards along the way to practice your new found skills.

As this class is designed for complete beginners, the supply list may seem huge and even overwhelming at first, so it is something we will be covering in the very first lesson. It is easy to rush out and impulse buy a whole lot of stamping stash, but if nothing else, I hope this class gives you a better insight into what type of stamper you are and helps you decide what product is a good investment for you.

• Week 1: Before you rush out and purchase a gazillion inkpads, we will run through some exercises to test out the ones you have already and I will give you a recommendations on what you should have in your basic stampers kit. We will also talk about paper and cardstock, how to get a perfect stamped impression every time and how to care for
  your stamps.
• In week 2 we look at some basic background techniques such as sponging, stippling and spritzing, as well as some fun stuff like Direct to Paper and basic brayering.
• Week 3 is dedicated to one key inkpad - versatile Versamark and all the lovely techniques you can do with it, including heat embossing and resist techniques.
• In week 4 we get the paintbrushes out and look at various watercolour techniques using paints, markers, pencils and inkpads.
• Finally in week 5 we re-visit the brayering and learn more about the effects that you can get with this wonderful tool.
• Each week there will be activities for you to try out yourself which you can share with fellow students in the classroom gallery.

Please Note: We have a guest facilitator for this class. Lesley Wharton has worked with Glenda for the past seven years and has taught stamping classes for many years. The content has been provided by Glenda, but Lesley will be here to answer your questions.

Student Feedback:
I've loved every minute of the course....I have downloaded the files to complete at a later date. Glenda's teaching method is wonderful and very easy to follow, in the video format and PDF.

I found the course enjoyable. The use of video is excellent, its so much easier to see someone do a technique than just read about it. Overall, very impressed with online classes and I would like to do more in the future.
