Hello Artsy Island Girl Followers,

I hope you are all having a great start to your New Year!

In case you are unaware, in the fall Skillshare started making some changes, they significantly reduced teachers pay (we get paid per minute of class watched), and they also introduced minimum requirements for classes to stay on the platform.

Last week Skillshare chose to raise those raise those requirements and I received an e-mail yesterday that some classes doesn't meet their requirements and will be removed from the platform. There was no date of removal on the e-mail but in a skillshare teachers group I am in several people were saying 5 days.

If you have not yet started or completed watching the videos the following classes(and were wanting to take them) I would advise you to do so before it is removed! The classes (linked for your convenience) Skillshare plans to remove are:

Beach Resin for Beginners

Winter Wonderland Step Card Class

Watercolour Christmas Class

Exploding Dice Interactive Card Class

Westcoast Acrylic Landscape for Beginners Class

One of the criteria Skillshare uses to make their decisions is watch time of the classes as well as feedback rating so it is VERY important to leave feedback for any classes you take (with ANY teacher/class).

Because of the recent changes, I (as well as many other teachers) are taking a hard look at weather investing their time in creating classes for skillshare is worth it. I have not decided yet but, to be honest, with the recent changes as well as the significantly reduce in pay, I'm not very motivated to create more classes here.

So please take advantage of the time this class (as well as others) are still up on this platform! And if there are classes you are interested in (from ANY teacher), take them while they are still here and PLEASE leave ratings for classes!

Thank you and Have a great (and hopefully crafty)day!
