I will also be teaching a Make Your Own Book workshop

You don't need to be from the Worcester, MA area to attend! You can take classes from the comfort of your own home. Anywhere in the world. Time Zone Converter I hope you can join me.

REGARDING ONLINE CLASSES:
Students should familiarize themselves with Zoom software prior to the beginning of the first class session.  Instructions will be sent on how to create a free Zoom account and how to sign in to the secure Zoom classroom before class. Teens are welcome in Online Adult Classes if they are comfortable with the medium. 

Due to privacy concerns, online classes will not be recorded. Make-up classes are not offered if students are absent. Class tuition cannot be prorated due to student absences.

Scholarships are available.

Class size is limited. Sign up early so you have time to purchase any necessary supplies.

  3. Is this going to be a zoom class, or are you recording it and then we watch it? I am interested, but I must tell you my hand skills are not the neatest. Would that matter? When I went by the museum on my way to visit my Mom this week I thought I could stop in and visit one of these days. I see it isn't opening until October. But I haven't been there in a long long time.

    1. This is a live class via Zoom sponsored by the Worcester Art Museum. Because of privacy concerns, the museum will not be recording the classes. Missed classes are missed, but you would receive any handouts for the missed lesson. No previous experience with calligraphy is required.

      Even though the museum could already be opened under Mass. Phase 3, the opening has been postponed until October. I imagine the administration and staff are busy putting safety protocols into place (hand sanitizer stations, stand here dots on the floor, one way in one way out to be able to count visitors and who is in the building. There was also work being done on the Lancaster St. Entrance. Time would also be needed to prepare for exhibitions.

  4. This is a very real benefit to online classes: you don't have to travel and you can take the class from your own home. I'd imagine this would increase participation.
