instead of starting a new project in a structured course. You still will be

receiving the guidance and ability to complete work like any regular class but

at your own pace. Students in this course guide their own material choices

and supply needs outside of the basics the studio provided but receive

teaching, guidance and feedback, as well as studio time and storage space

like any regular class.
