Teaching Experiences

I've been teaching scrapbooking-classes since fall 2006, starting with classes for deaf and hard of hearing newbeginners in Bergen, Ålesund and Oslo over the course of 2006 and 2007. I have also taught deaf at weeklong courses at Ål Folkehøyskole in Ål in 2006 and 2007.

In fall 2007 I had my very first class for hearing during an annual event/convention called Papirfesten in Stavanger. I had much fun and it sparkled my interest for holding regular classes.

I became a PrimaDonna around Christmas 2007 - that is - affiliated Prima Marketing Inc Teacher, and a Tattered Angels Educator fall 2008. I have been teaching scrapbooking for both deaf and hearing all over Norway - Bergen, Oslo, Stavanger, Ål and Ålesund.

Personally I enjoy creating altered and minibook-classes, but the most popular classes are the layout ones. I usually base my classes around a few different techniques and try to include at least two styles in one class (i.e. romantic vs funky), and enjoy giving the students the flexibility of adopting and making the creations their own. Past classes include sewing-on-layouts classes, shadowbox-classes, classes based on layering and clustering and minialbum-classes.


These days I am not an active scrapbook-teacher which means I have resigned from my active positions with the aforementioned companies. I am however still available on case by case requests - just feel free to contact me for more info.
