What time GMT will this be?

Hi Cassie, This will be the first Strathmore workshop I’ve participated in, but it is my understanding that the video lesson is simply posted on the workshop page on the initial day of each specific workshop. It is not a live video class. It is then available for at least a year thereafter. That, at least, is my interpretation of the info under ‘How Our Online Workshops Work’ at the bottom of this page, under the ‘3. Start’ section. Strathmore (and it’s current parent company) are American, and in the Eastern Time Zone, which is 5 hrs behind GMT. If the video lesson is uploaded at midnight here, it will be 5AM your time. I certainly do not know for sure what time the video will appear on the start date, but if I had to guess I would say sometime between 12AM midnight and 8AM EST. I say that because after 8AM EST, in Australia (which is 16 hrs ahead of EST), it becomes the next calendar date. That is my .02 Canadian cents. I hope it was somewhat helpful. Take care, Deb
