Zoom classes - how it works!
Zoom class! Fauxligraphy lettering Class
Zoom class! Fauxligraphy lettering Class
Zoom is a software program that allows us to meet Live online as a class! I will draw under the document camera just like in the studio and it will be broadcast on your computer. You will be able to ask questions just like we were in the same room together! I will send a link to you in your email inviting you to join the meeting and on the assigned day and time, you will click on the link just before meeting time and it will lead you through installing Zoom on your computer and signing into the meeting. Each class will have a separate meeting link. It's very easy to use! I'll send the details in the class email :)
