Just a wee bit on what to expect…
Typical class: Begins by reviewing the previous project. We will look at and briefly discuss this work. Next, we will begin the next project. Here we will begin by looking at examples of similar finished pieces. After that, you will watch a short demonstration so you can see each step of the process. Then it’s your turn to give it a try.
Studio time: You will probably want more time to work on your projects. There are 3 types of studio time. The independent studio, as you probably guessed means you can come in on your own whenever you like. Assisted studio time, your instructor is available to help you if you need it. Assisted studio time will have regular hours, or can be arranged if the schedule does not fit with yours. Part of the class is also about setting up a workspace at home. For those who prefer working in their home studio Zoom assistance will also be an option.
