Ruth's Card for Mr Wilson

This is the card that was inside Ruth's envelope that I already posted. It is an accordion fold with more of that very nice lettering from her Carl Rohrs online class.

Ruth and I have both done workshops with Carl in person. This is what she said about the online class.

"Carl's hope is to inspire his students to use his ideas and come up with their own style. The online classes are a perfect fit for me as I can practice a lesson more before moving to the next step."

For anyone questioning the expense of the online classes, Ruth says:  "The instructors  spend hours replying to all posts. In a way, better than a workshop because we all get to read all of his comments."

She is referring to the work and comments that students post online. In a workshop - you do not hear all of the comments that the instructor makes as he goes around to each student. I had not thought about that as an advantage to an online course. 

But - if you have never taken any in-person classes, an online class might not be as much personal interaction as you need. Beginners benefit from having someone watch exactly how they are holding the pen, etc. 

I had not thought about the advantage to being able to do a ton of practice between each lesson. Sometimes, a workshop can move a little faster than one would like. As someone who has taught -- I know how hard it is to keep everyone going at the same pace.

To learn more about the online courses with Carl Rohrs and Yves Leterme, Google - Acorn Arts or - here is a link - http://www.acornarts.org/online-classes-2.html

acornarts.org will take you to more info on Harvest Crittenden - the dedicated scribe who is bringing these classes and a whole lot more to the scribal community.

Here is Ruth's card - open - and the envelope - one more time - cuz it's so pretty.
