Sessions are typically scheduled weekly to support sustained studio practice.
Instruction includes technical demonstrations, feedback on in-progress work, technical troubleshooting, design and material discussions, and next steps.
Supervised studio access is available to support consistent, independent practice throughout the duration of study.
