ToleTown Members do not have to pay for live classes; they are *included* in the membership fee.

Our live classes are taught in an html enhanced classroom, chatroom style. Students receive supply list, pattern and prep instructions prior to class and come ready to paint! We recommend placing a folding card table or TV tray next to the computer  in an "L"  shape to allow you to turn to view the computer and then your project... it really works! 

The teacher gives the instructions, helpful tips and detailed information to the students by means of a chatbox in the classroom.  Throughout the class full color step by step photos are presented so you can see exactly what the teacher has painted at each step of the project! Now we even have video clips available for the more recent classes! These clips are great learning tools for students to view as often as they need to in order to learn the specific techniques.  Our 'live' classes are geared toward intermediate painters, however, beginners and advanced painters are always welcome to attend.  Basic painting skills are recommended for best results.  Inside ToleTown, we have a great Resource Schoolhouse filled with terms, techniques, ideas, worksheets, and projects galore!

To view our video clips and classroom, you will need a media player such as Windows Media Player or Real Player (already standard on most computers) as well as java which is a free program that enables computers to view the chatroom area. Most computers already have java installed; but we'll be glad to help if you have any questions. Try out our "Sample Classroom" to see how it works.
