Instructor: Yvette McCollum

Description: This workshop is designed for returning students who want to continue practicing and refining the skills they've learned in previous classes. With access to a supportive, creative environment, students can work on personal projects at their own pace while receiving guidance and supervision from the instructor. Whether you need a refresher on techniques, troubleshooting assistance, or just a space to create, this session offers the perfect opportunity to enhance your craft with personalized support.

Materials: Students must bring all necessary materials for their projects, as supplies will not be provided. Please ensure you have everything you need to make the most of your workshop time. This class is about practicing a technique you have already learned and not learning a new one during class. However, full access to the workshop and its tools to support their work during the session will be provided.
