workshop styles

follow along recommended time: min. 2hrs

in this format I will demonstrate step by step how to make a specific design and you will follow along to create the same piece

pros:

you know what your piece will look like

everyone will have matching pieces

there is more structure overall

step by step will be easier to follow

cons:

you may not be able to explore creativity

cannot work at own pace

do it yourself recommended time: min. 2-3hrs

in this format I will demonstrate step by step how to use the materials and how to make an object, but after you have free reign to make whatever design you desire

pros:

full creativity choice

everyone will have different pieces

can work at their own pace

cons:

you may not know what your piece will look like

may not know how to proceed without following along a step by step

hybrid recommended time: min. 2-4hrs

this format combines the best of both formats: I will demonstrate step by step how to make a specific design, and others who would prefer to explore their creativity can work at their own pace and create their own design
