What is the cost of the 6 week class and is it possible to take the intermediate (prerequisite) and the advanced at the same time? Are the classes all day every day?
Stacy's Answer:
Thanks for your interest in my classes Lori! I do occasionally have students taking two levels of classes at the same time. It it discussed with the student prior to enrollment. More common is the student taking both a wire and metalsmithing class in the same session as the skills learned enhance the applications of both studies. Structured for the hobbyist, my classes - offered through the Dunedin and Morean Fine Art Centers - are 18 hours total and run for 3 hours per session once a week for 6 weeks.
