This weekend I live streamed a webinar \u2013 a breed study of the Swedish breed J\u00e4mtland sheep from the spinner’s perspective<\/a>. Webinars are powerful tools to meet and share information and skills. Today I invite you to my studio and the making of a breed study webinar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This webinar is about J\u00e4mtland wool.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Webinar content creation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A webinar is a seminar or other presentation that takes place on the Internet, allowing participants in different locations to see and hear the presenter, ask questions and comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing to think about in the making of a webinar is the content: What should the webinar be about? At the moment I am making a webinar series of breed studies of Swedish sheep breeds from the spinner’s perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subject and crafting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I pick the breed I want to talk about. Preferably a breed I have worked with and have fleece available for. I also want it to be a breed from which I have made something of the yarn to show you. If I haven’t I need to prepare that too \u2013 I want to be able to show you the whole process from fleece to a finished textile or at least a sample of some sort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
There is lots of preparation work to create the content for a webinar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I also take photos for the blog post. The photos, especially the close-ups, are important for both the blog post and the live stream. I have only one camera in the webinar and it doesn’t do close-ups very well. With the close-up photos in the blog post my viewers can go back to the blog post if they missed details in the webinar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I have the same basic outline for all my webinars \u2013 I talk briefly about the breed and then I go on to preparation, spinning and use of the wool of that breed. I want to show the steps in the process from fleece to project. To me the preparation of wool is the most important thing \u2013 the steps I take early in the process have consequences for the end result. I show different ways to prepare and spin the wool and how they affect the end result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The content I fill my outline with is the base of that week’s blog post and is also the starting point of my webinar script. My hope is that the video webinar together with the written blog post will fit as many learning styles as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Administration and tech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a lot of administration and tech to be done before a webinar, but I’m slowly getting the hang of it now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
