On Line Classes

Online Bear Making classes are a joint venture between Christine of My OLd Friends and Joan Farrelly of Everlasting Bears.

Between us we have formed what we and many of our students consider the very best on line bear making classes on the net.

Read what past students have said about my On Line Classes :

"I can not believe how much I learnt from your class after having made
bears for so many years. There are so many tips and techniques I had never even thought of.
Congratulations and good luck with your venture."

  AND

"What a wonderful idea to teach on line. I had always wanted to make a
bear but I couldn't find the time. Thankyou for answering all my
questions so promptly. I had tried from a book but got stuck and had no
one to ask but you answered so quickly and even more than that I understood what you meant.
The photos made it so easy.
Please keep me in mind for all your classes."

I have recently taken your on-line Aging Bear Class and am presently enrolled in
the Muffin Class. I would like to compliment you on your  teaching skills and  caring
attitude, as  well. I am a professional Teddy Bear designer and have 14 patterns on the  market
at this  time. Although I have been making bears for many years, I have learned  new  skills from
your classes.

Isn't it wonderful to share ideas and continue to grow in the wonderful world of Teddy Bears?

AND

Wow Christine!!!!
I can see why your students are impressed!!!
I have been attending classes now for about 9 months and I have learnt more  just with glimpses of your
classes whilst downloading than I have learnt in all that time.
I am itching to print it off but will have to get a new cartridge methinks LOL
Thanx. I am waiting now for lil ole Muffin to arrive so I can make a Christine Charles Bear :-)
Wonderful !!!!!!

Jeepers. I have done other on line classes but yours fill in all the gaps they leave out. I am delighted - thankyou!
 
 

The on line classes are the perfect answer for busy people as you can work where and when you please.  No more having to drive for miles after working all day to a class and then driving home. No more missing class as the children are ill as with On Line Classes you work when it suits you and help is not a week away at the next class BUT as close as your keyboard. You can choose any pattern from My Old Friends or you may use your pattern of choice.

We don't run to a time table or charge a "late" fee if you enter after the class has begun as we run continual classes. We have a service guarantee and an alternate email server in case our primary server goes down as they all do from time to time.

These lessons print out to form a book that you can use over and over again. No more trying to learn from a book where there is no help if you get stuck. On line classes mean your questions will be answered within hours and the 70 pages of instruction in the bear making class means that it's easy.

All the classes are written in Word and we can email them to you or you are welcome to down load them from our site.

We use Pay Pal so payment is easy from all over the world.

Please email me at chris1@bigpond.net.au and I will send you a mini class free of charge when you join our update list.
 
 

We hold classes continually so you can join when you choose and the help continues after the class finishes.I still keep in contact with students from many years ago and many of my students have become firm friends.

Please look below for more details on the class you are contemplating. We offer discounts for multiple bookings that are paid for at the same time.

A class for beginners through to advanced students that prints out to a 70 page book to use over and over again. The class starts right at he beginning and goes through to more advanced techniques. A MUST class for anyone contemplating making bears for pleasure of profit.
