INDEPENDENT PROJECT SESSION

WEDNESDAYS 7-10pm OR THURSDAYS 10-1PM $285 (when you check out, you will select what day/time you wish to participate in)

This 8-class session is designed as an individualized custom course for those

who are developing a personal vision and want direct feedback related to

ideas and processes that may not require a model session. The rolling

Independent Project sessions are essentially an extension of any idea,

workshop or project you wish to focus on further beyond the allotted time

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.
