This technique focused workshop is designed to transform a Glimmer newbie into a Glimmer Pro. We'll start with the basics, talk troubleshooting, and then move to advanced techniques that are sure to wow. Every attendee will walk away feeling empowered to hot foil with confidence.
When is the Glimmer Live Hands-on Workshop?
This live, interactive, virtual class will take place on Saturday, May 13th at 9am Pacific. We expect the class to run for approximately 3 hours.
When can I purchase the kits and when will they ship?
Kits will start shipping the week of April 30th.
For whom is the class designed?
The Glimmer Live Hands-on workshop is designed for everyone, whether they’re new to hot foiling or have used the system for years. Maybe you have a person that has been considering investing in the system but is still on the fence – this is the perfect opportunity for them. Or perhaps you have a consumer who bought the system a year ago but has yet to open the box. Let’s get it open and get them hot foiling! The tips and techniques Kim will share will benefit everyone, and since the bundle contains brand new product, it’s the perfect opportunity for even the seasoned hot foiler to add beautiful new products to their stash.
Where will the class be hosted?
The class will be hosted on YouTube. In the kits, consumers will find a link to the event so they can easily locate it.
What if a person cannot attend on May 13th?
The event will be archived on YouTube and a person can watch – or rewatch – at their leisure indefinitely.
Will there be a special Facebook group?
Yes! We find that having a dedicated Facebook group for events such as this are invaluable to build excitement and anticipation for the event, as well share information about the upcoming class, including homework. It is equally important for project and inspiration sharing, which helps build the community and empowers our crafters.
A QR code and a web link for the Facebook group will be included in kits so people can easily access the group.
What is in the kits?
We are offering two kits – a base Glimmer Live kit, which will be the primary materials used in the training, plus an add-on kit, which will be used during the class for our more “advanced” techniques and to show off other ways to use hot foil.
Do students need to have a Glimmer system?
To get the most out of class, students should have their own hot foil machine. While it doesn’t have to be a Glimmer hot foil machine, we are best equipped to educate (and troubleshoot) using this machine. A Glimmer system is preferred, but the Go Press and Foil machine is the next closest equivalent.
Do students need to have a Platinum or Platinum 6 die cutting machine?
Students need to have their own die cutting machine that works with their hot foil system of choice. For the Glimmer system, that means a Platinum, Platinum 6, or Big Shot, among others.
Will you offer homework in advance of the class?
Yes, but not the type of homework we typically assign. For this class, the important homework will come in the form of getting out the Glimmer system, plugging it in, ensuring the machine heats up as expected, and running it through the die cutting machine a few times to “season” the platform. While our failure rate is very, very small on Glimmer, it does happen occasionally and we want to ensure everyone can actively participate in the live session on May 13th. We will assign this homework with enough time that we can issue replacement machines in time if needed.
Is the product in the kits exclusive to this event?
The products featured in the kits are from collections launching later this year. The items cannot be purchased ala carte until that time, so the only way folks can get their hands on this product now is to register for the class by buying a kit.
