Nuts & Bolts
Here’s how this online class works:
- This is now a self-study class and you have instant access to the videos and can do the lessons on your own timetable.
- You have indefinite access to this class.
- You can (optionally) share your work with via the class Facebook page. Carla and the other teachers will be there to see what you are doing, but due to the large number of students enrolled we can’t guarantee commenting on each one. (However, our group is lively and supportive, and you will find friends there!) If you have any questions, you will be able to email the instructor (Send all questions to [email protected] and I will forward to the teacher right away. Thanks!)
- Class fee is good for participants living in a single household.
