In our two session, beginner-friendly WebJam, hosted online via Zoom, we will help you get comfortable with Procreate.

Impress your boo, family and fans by sending them your very own, oh-so-professional digital greeting card. Or just make your hand lettering inspirational quote go viral on Instagram with those smooth serifs!

Suggested supplies:

• iPad capable of running Apple Pencil. Definitely iPad Pro, but works also with some models of regular iPad)
• Apple Pencil (other stylists might work, too, but we won’t be able to help you troubleshoot if they don’t work)
• Procreate software logged in with the current 5.0 version. The app costs $9.99, available in the Apple app store. (Jammers can try some techniques in other apps, but tools and tricks are likely to be different and won’t apply exactly.)

This class is beginner friendly; no experience necessary! After you purchase your ticket, you will receive a custom URL link to join.

And this is how a WebJam works:

After you purchase your ticket, you will receive an email with a custom URL link to join. You will be able to add the event to your calendar. Reminder emails will be sent 2 hour and 45 minutes prior to the start. Make sure to login 10 minutes before the WebJam starts to avoid technical difficulties that may delay you.

While using Zoom we strongly recommend video participation. Unlike traditional webinars, we’re keeping our classes small and intimate. CraftJam was founded to foster community amongst its participants and part of this is seeing and interacting with each other as well as the option to receive feedback and support for your projects from your JamMaster.
