Emma Walsh's project from Abstract painting: A 60 × 80 cm abstract on canvas
Project · A 60 × 80 cm abstract on canvas

I hadn't painted since school. Six weeks later one of my canvases is hanging in our hallway and people ask where I bought it.

Result: First painting sold

Short lessons I could do on the train, and a teacher who actually read my pages. I finished a story for the first time.

Result: Story published

Marco's knife lesson alone was worth it. I cook every night now and dinner takes half the time it used to.

Result: Cooks 6 nights a week

Claire Dawson's project from Woodworking at home: An oak side table
Project · An oak side table

I built a table in my garage with four hand tools. Tom's videos show every mistake before you make it.

Result: First table built

The feedback on my poster was more useful than a year of YouTube. It went to a real printer and I got the proof back.

Result: Now freelancing

I developed my first roll in the bathroom with the lights off. The lesson on metering finally made it click.

Result: 12-print series
