I am a member of a wonderful group on Yahoo called City-O-Clay. It is for people who use, or would like to learn, polymer clay. When you get right down to it, it is a free teaching/learning environment. The lady who started it, NJ of norajean.com, is just an amazing lady, who has spent (if you add it all together) actual years teaching people to use polymer clay, and all for free.
A few years ago, I was a moderator of that group, and I loved when we would have lessons or "clay alongs" with video and chat. Usually, there would be a theme each time, and Nora Jean, or some one else would set their camera so everyone could view them, in real time, while they demonstrated a technique. But, for different reasons, all that stopped a couple years ago. And, I really miss it. And, with some changes, Yahoo just wasn't as easy to work with for this sort of thing.
That's why I was pretty excited to come across this website the other day. Wiziq.com is a site where educators and students can come together and have an online class with video and chat, for free! From what I understand, there can be many people watching the video and participating in the "class", so it would be a great way to do polymer clay tutorials!
Not only polymer clay, but really, anything. If you want to teach, or learn, this seems like a great site to use! No matter what the subject!
