Frequently Asked Questions

How is a Workshop different from an On-Demand Class?

While On-Demand classes feature pre-recorded lessons only, a Workshop combines pre-recorded video lessons with an interactive live session. This gives you the best of both worlds: structured video training paired with the opportunity to ask questions and interact with your instructor and fellow students live.

Do I need prior card making experience to join a Workshop?

Not at all. Every workshop breaks techniques down into clear, approachable steps so beginners can follow along easily while experienced crafters pick up exciting new tricks.

Do I have to keep to a schedule for a Workshop?

The pre-recorded video lessons are completely self-paced, so you can watch them anytime. The live session is hosted at a specific date and time, but if you cannot attend live, a full video replay is uploaded, and you can find it on your Altenew Academy account shortly after the session ends.

How long will I have access to the Workshop lessons and replays?

You get lifetime virtual access. All pre-recorded video lessons, live session replays, and downloadable project sheets remain in your Altenew Academy account permanently.

What is the difference between Class Pass Only and Class Pass + Kit options?

The Class Pass Only option gives you full access to all pre-recorded video lessons, live sessions, and replays. If you want curated supplies shipped directly to your door, you can choose the Class Pass + Regular Kit or upgrade to the Class Pass + Deluxe Kit for additional coordinating goodies.
