Another successful private lesson!

This isn't actually my student yesterday... but this is how they feel after a lesson. My recent student has taken stained glass before in a group setting. There were supposed to be 8 students maximum and their were 10. That is not a bad thing, a lot of people teach group lessons with that number of students, but what you learn with a large group decreases due to the lack of time the instructor has to help each student.

When Audrey came yesterday, she was having difficulty cutting glass, spending a lot of time grinding, and not at all feeling comfortable with her level of work. By the time she left my studio after a 2 hour private session, she had her project successfully cut out. She had to do very little grinding to make her piece fit. And... she was ready to take it home and foil the edges so she could solder when she comes back for her next two hour session.

At the rate she is progressing, I know we will finish soldering and framing the piece she started and have time to have me help her with some other projects she had started at home. That is the advantage of private lessons. You learn a whole lot more. What you learn is exactly what you are needing help with (not what the whole class needs to know). You are able to finish more quickly and work on other projects if you would like.

If you're looking to learn stained glass and are considering taking classes, call me to find out how we can work private lessons into your schedule. I am sure you will not be disappointed.
