COURSE MATERIALS

No textbook is required for this course. All tools will be provided for use during the course and must be returned in good condition or a replacement fee will be assessed. A lab fee of $50 will be automatically put on your bill. This fee covers the cost of the materials used in the projects you will create during the class.

ATTENDENCE

Since this course builds on skills that need to be carefully demonstrated before students can do their projects effectively and safely, missing any class is strongly discouraged. If you must miss due to sickness or other emergencies, please call me so we can make arrangements for you to learn any new skills or safety procedures before you progress to the next project level.

TIME COMMITMENT

Class time should be long enough for you to complete the minimum required projects. Some elements, like design and research are expected to be completed outside of class.

STUDENT SUPPORT

Learning to work with new materials can be frustrating and intimidating. It is possible to get injured with glass so always take the time to be safe. Ask me rather than a classmate if you are unsure how to do a process or use a tool correctly. I am happy to talk to you outside of class time if necessary.
