Opportunities abound for scrapbookers who want to take a class or workshop to learn a new technique or to improve their skill. Classes are offered by local scrapbook stores and chain craft stores like Michaels and Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts. They are an integral part of many scrapbook conventions and retreats. Classes are also offered by independent scrapbook consultants, like those who sell products for Creative Memories or Close to My Heart.

Scrapbook classes cover every conceivable topic and every skill level. Whether you're a beginner who's confused about selecting and using scrapbook supplies or an advanced scrapbooker who's looking for new embellishment ideas, you're sure to find a class that's just right for you.

Choosing an Appropriate Scrapbook Class

When selecting classes, first consider your skill level. Are you just getting started with scrapbooking? Select an introductory or beginning class that will cover the basics. Have you been scrapbooking for years? Look for intermediate or advanced level classes on techniques or topics that interest you.
