Level 1
Form a strong foundation in your medium of choice. Receive the essential tools and materials necessary to master the basics and beyond. Beginner friendly and an essential course before continuing to intermediate and advanced levels.
Level 2
Build on the beginner course with intermediate techniques and concepts. These kits often include additional tools and supplies as well. Students should have taken the Level-1 course first because concepts, skills, and tutorials will be referenced, as well as tools in the beginner kit used for the project.
Level 3
Increase your skills and broaden your toolkit with advanced techniques and concepts. These courses often take an interdisciplinary approach, weaving in cross-genre methods to diversify what you can do in this medium.

Once you learn new skills, it’s important to master them with practice. I have created a series of skill builder projects as kits with instructions, focused around different themes for each medium at each level. I release new ones each year as well! These are designed to help you hone and stretch your current skills, so you can be ready to add new ones with the next level. Students have really appreciated this offering and enjoyed the wide variety of projects I’ve designed and crafted!
