What to expect when you sign up for this class:
• The class outline is for students to make two different styles of earring pairs within the class time, and students are given additional ideas at the end of class for more designs to experiment with. 
• Students will learn the most important skills of earring making so that they can continue creating new earring designs long after our class together.
• Each step of creating our earrings is carefully explained, and within each step students can work at their own pace.
• Class sizes are kept small to ensure that all enrolled students receive personalized attention and instruction, helping every growing jeweler excel.
• Students are asked to keep their microphone off so that everyone can hear instructions clearly, but we also turn our mics on throughout the class to share thoughts, answer questions, and share our work.
• If students need more time to complete a project even as class time is coming to a close, students will have the choice to stay a few minutes longer to finish their work. There's no rush when creating art!

• As the instructor, I have two cameras up: a regular face camera and a second close-up camera on my hands so that students can see the close-up details of every step.
• Students are guided and supported every step of the way to reach their goals. 
• Students are encouraged to ask questions, share ideas, and share their work with one another as we create together!
