This schedule contains all of the weekly objects of study, the expectations and deadlines. Please be sure to read it carefully, note the important dates on your own calendar, and ask me any questions if there is anything you do not understand. NOTE: On the schedule below, both ‘Studio time’ and ‘Print ideas development in class’ involve your direct printing practice, at which time I will give technical help to students. Some of most of these class sessions will include individual meetings with students to go over their prints and discuss solutions to problems.
