Have you recently discovered the world of professional arts and crafts? If so, you may be looking for ways to improve your skills so you can begin making crafts that can be sold at a local crafts show. One of the biggest challenges to doing this is that most people don't have the time or resources to take the necessary classes at local at a local arts center. Similar to online universities, there are a craft websites that will allow you to learn the techniques you need at your own pace. This type of learning is becoming a most convenient and affordable way to become an "expert crafts person".
If you search on "craft websites" on the Internet search engines, you may be somewhat disappointed by what you find. Mixed in with a selection of serious crafting website choices will be several amateur "how-to" sites that may teach you "how to draw a race car" or "how to make things out of pipe cleaners", but finding a "real" craft website doesn't need to be a challenge. Simply search on "Online Art & Craft University" and you will find a complete selection of crafting instruction video websites. You will find an expansive variety of options, from the basics of drawing and color to the most advanced techniques in polymer clay jewelry making, with a little bit of everything else in between.
Still wondering whether you can really learn from a craft web site? Think of it this way; when you need to have the instructor repeat something or you just want to see a technique demonstrated one more time, you will no longer need to ask or worry about looking stupid in front of your peers. All you need to do is move the video arrow back a bit and watch that part of the video again.
Often "Online Art & Craft University" websites allow you to preview a video before you buy it, so you won't be stuck learning something you already know. Plus, most of the videos come with downloadable PDF instructions for future reference.
