MARY BETH TEMPLE
Saturday, August 7, 2010
Author, designer and podcaster Mary Beth Temple will be teaching 3 classes at LambShoppe. She is the author of "The Secret Language of Knitters: and "Hooked for Life: Adventures of a Crochet Zealot". Her designs and articles have appeared in magazines from "Interweave Crochet" and "Interweave Knits", to "Creative Knitting" and "Hooked on Crochet". You can listen to her weekly crochet-centric interactive podcast at www.GettingLoopy.com.
9:00 am to noon
"Designing for Print Publication" - This class is about the business of being a professional designer. Even if you sell only one design you are a professional – you are doing your art for money rather than for love. And even if you don’t want to do this full time, the more business-like you are throughout the entire process of getting a design into publication, the happier your editors will be (and then the more likely to want to work with you again and again) and the happier you will be because you will have a clear-eyed set of expectations about what will and won’t happen.
$60 plus materials. Skill Level: Intermediate and Up.
This is not a class in pattern writing, but an overview of the submission process.
For this class, students should be prepared to focus on one design, and we will go through the submission process step by step. By the end of the class, each student should have a to-do list to make their first submission.
