Frequently Asked Questions

Is this bundle suitable for absolute beginners?

Yes! Every class starts with foundational principles, explaining tool setups, basic mechanics, and straightforward techniques so you can jump in with total confidence.

I’m an experienced crafter. Will this be too basic for me?

Not at all. Crafting Essentials isn’t a beginner series, it will push basic supplies beyond their standard uses. You'll explore unexpected media pairings, troubleshooting shortcuts, and advanced creative applications you likely haven't tried yet.

Do I need to own Altenew products to take these classes?

The projects are demonstrated using Altenew essentials to show you exact color palettes, finishes, and results. You're welcome to follow along with similar supplies you have on hand, but using Altenew products will give you the most seamless, true-to-class experience.

How long do I have access to the classes?

You receive unlimited lifetime access. Watch at your own speed, pause whenever you need, and revisit the tutorials as often as inspiration strikes.
