Directed Studio Practice: Forming!
This weekly class is an opportunity for students to work on independent projects, with answers to questions and guidance offered by an experienced instructor. Finish up projects hiding in your bench. Get advice and delve into those designs swirling around in your head or as pieces scattered about your bench! Or simply level up your previously learned skillsets.
Directed Studio Practice is led by instructors each with their own specialized skills and expertise. We will work towards building a solid foundation on metal forming. The scale can be from jewelry to larger vessels. Bring ideas and questions!
This particular version of Directed Studio Practice will be open to students with a Jewelry 1 and above level skillset.
