[NFB-Blind-Crafters] What Are You All Working On This Week?

[slery]

Craftsy is an online platform for learning crafts. They have classes and 
tutorials. Some are just directions to follow, but a lot are videos now. 
Some things are accessible and others not so much. The video 
descriptions vary by teacher which is why I mentioned that it is only 
$0.55 for a whole year. That is less than a soda to try it and you can 
see if the things you want to learn are accessible for you. If you have 
Roku, you can also watch on your tv. So, very good for low vision folks, 
but your mileage may vary for anything less. Again, there are some 
teachers that are good for explaining what they are doing in the videos. 
Also, it may be more useful if you are an advanced beginner so you 
really understand when terminology is used.
Again, only $0.55 for a whole year.
