How this class works:
Come to the first class with project ideas, reference images, sketches, or drawings. The instructor and fellow students will offer feedback to help refine your design and organize the steps. By the end of week one, you should have a clear project direction and materials list so you can begin building in week two. Weekly check-ins will help you assess progress and work through challenges.
