The learners are encouraged to reach out to me throughout the class. I will be responding to learners a minimum of once per week. However, feedback will be provided as soon as I am available to respond. This could be immediate or it may take up to 48 hours. Feedback will be in the form of messages sent through the class page or videos created for specific needs. If other videos are needed for extra support, these videos will be provided as soon as the videos can be created, but within the week requested. 

This class is scheduled to run for 9 weeks. Due to the nature of the skills, practice time, and amount of creativity the learner includes in their works of art, the amount of time needed for each lesson will vary.
