Welcome to National Craft Month 2016!!

March is National Craft Month, and all this year we will be celebrating with a series of fun blogbosts, exciting news, and of course the GIVEAWAYS!  We all like a little free stuff right? How about 5 weeks of giveaways?! WOOHOO!!

Lets start off this month with a bang!  We're going to give one of you lucky readers an enrollment to Jason's brand new class on how to take FAB photos of your handmade items using your smartphone or tablet.

This Nation Craft Month Week #1 prize is provided by our friends at F&W Media in association with their Craft Online University.  This class officially goes live March 15, and one of you lucky folks gets to take this course free! 

​I’m so excited, I just can’t hide it, I’m about to lose control… forgive that Pointer Sister’s moment.

In all honesty this is a class I’ve always wanted to teach.  It’s about you taking great photos with just a smartphone or tablet. I KNOW… RIGHT?  Where has this class been hiding? 

Well it’s hiding no more.  Below is brief outline of some of the things you'll learn in this 8 week course.

• Learn how your camera sees light and how to create flattering light for any handmade project.
• Build your own “professional grade” bounces and diffusers with basic DIY supplies
• Discover photography tricks that will astound you. REALLY! (You can to WHAT with a pair of headphones??)
• Build a Lightbox. What is it and why you need one? How to make one cheap and easy!
• Learn what photo apps this pro swears by and how to get excellent results for little or no money.

This class will teach you how to create photography tools out of common objects to use in conjunction with your smartphone or tablet to produce images to help you sell or exhibit your work. 

If you want to take better photos of your handmade items, and have a mobile device you owe it to yourself to enter this contest for a chance to win this course free.
