Class Description:
This class explores all venues of ‘alternative’ jewelry making materials. We'll create many different pieces based in wire, rings, or polymer. No previous experience needed for this class. Students will be guided through the steps of each project, generally speaking, if kept on task, all students should be able to finish MOST projects in class.
Syllabus
*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
