Making Class Selections Determining Skill Level Daily Class Schedule
48 Hour Classes 36 Hour Classes 24 Hour Classes 12 Hour Classes
Before making your class selection(s), you must determine your skill level. Register for classes that match your ability and/or other recommendations as described in this catalogue.
The tuition fee covers a total of 36 hours of instruction, a minimum of six hours of classroom work per day for six days. For an additional fee, you may schedule an extra class, making your schedule 48 hours of instruction, a minimum of eight hours of classroom work per day. Classes are 12, 24, 36, or 48 hours long.
You have several scheduling options, including:
Classes are kept small, and many fill quickly. Therefore, you MUST
indicate your 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th choices on the registration form.
Each set should be a day of classes (36 or 48 hours). If you are
not assigned to your first- or second-choice class, do not despair.
Openings occasionally arise prior to the school week due to
cancellations or changes. If you are having a hard time choosing
and will be equally pleased with a first or second choice, please
note that on your selection form.
Accurate waiting lists are maintained for 48, 36 and 24 hour classes until May 1, and students are notified if openings become available in their preferred classes. After May 1, waiting lists are used only at the discretion of the school director.
Any class that does not reach a minimum of six students by February 1 may be cancelled. Students registered for a cancelled class have the option of selecting another class or receiving a full refund.
The intent of the Guild School is to assist miniaturists in developing their skills to create fine miniatures. Classes focus on teaching techniques and methods, as well as on acquainting students with various tools, materials and resources. Some classes may allow for the completion of a project and some may not. Each class description indicates whether or not completion is likely. The term "overtime" references homework, not class time. This is meant only as a guide and will vary depending on the skill level and learning style of the student.
This guide, in addition to comments from instructors, will help students better determine their skill levels when taking a woodworking or metalworking class.
If you are registering for a class that will use power tools, you are expected to be at the recommended skill level and to abide by all safety precautions and guidelines, as required by the school and instructor, when operating power tools. In addition, all students must sign a Release of Liability form and fill out and submit a medical questionnaire regarding their ability and any physical limitations.
