 
Online Studio
Our first stop just has to be ToleTown's Online Studio! Here members take a variety of wonderful classes
each month, find links to color conversion charts, materials for monthly
classes as well as a complete archive of over 150 past lessons and projects
and more!
Most online classes give students a written
lesson or video clip to download and leave you basically painting on your
own, but here at ToleTown your teacher is actually presenting the class
to you LIVE, in real time! You are provided with step by step
photos throughout the class, along with video clips; and are able to enjoy interaction with other
students and the teacher just as in a "real" paint class! We call
it a virtual tole shop for that very reason!
Many of our visitors find it amazing that we
all sit around our computers and paint, but it's really not that difficult! We have found that
by setting a folding table or tray next to the computer desk students are
able to enjoy the class and feel "safe" with water and paint distanced
from the keyboard! :o)
If the timing of a live class just doesn't
fit your schedule you can still enjoy the project as you have full access
to all class materials as well as the class logs. And, since your
teachers live right here in town, you are free to email them with questions
at any time!
Below is a view of our class preview area in the Studio:
The SelfStudy Door is your link to our archive of past materials...
over 100 projects!
To the left below you see the layout of our archive, to the right a
sampling of past projects and lessons!
Class materials including line drawing, prep, detailed instructions,
step-by-step pictures, and class logs are neatly archived
as e-packets for your painting enjoyment!
A recent article in CraftWorks magazine reported that the average
price for an online class was $20.00... if you joined us for our classes
alone your membership would pay for itself over and over again,
averaging out to a cost of just over $1.50 per live class!
What a deal!
