Creative Chemistry 101

 



I recently attended the Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 class at onlinecardclass.com. First of all, I would like to say what a wonderful experience this was. Tim Holtz is a very enjoyable and informational instructor, and there are over five hours of educational videos to learn from. We learned a multitude of tips and techniques during the two weeks of instruction, with each one building on those before it. The first day of class was an overview of the types of products we would be employing, as well as the types of surfaces to which they would be applied. The units that followed covered various ways to use the properties of the materials and surfaces to create unique and artistic finishes that were previously beyond our reach. We made twenty-five different technique tags during the instruction period, and I have posted mine here.
