Student Friday Sessions 

Students actively enrolled in a multi-week class (workshops and intensives not included) are eligible to participate in our monitored Student Friday Sessions. These open studio sessions are a time for students to practice skills and project-based techniques learned in their classes. Studio monitors are scheduled and staffed to assist and mentor students with skills they are learning in their courses.   Please view the Jewelry & Metals Studio Schedule here for scheduled sessions.
