SELF-INVESTMENT
This is a one-time opportunity for personal and professional growth. If you have ambitions to improve, the Grand Masters Program® can take your passions to new heights. Instructors Damien Connolly and Jason Marchiafava have developed class projects that will be challenging and fulfilling. This is a unique chance to spend quality time at the bench learning from a true master in the field, alongside like-minded and motivated classmates.
PASSION FOR THE ART
If you marvel over inlay, dream about scroll, or obsess over the perfect setting, then this class is for you! Time will fly by when you spend 10 days learning and collaborating this August in Emporia, Kansas. So much can be accomplished and learned when each day is committed to getting better without the interruptions of daily life.
COMMUNITY
One of the most amazing parts of Grand Masters is being able to share the experience with other artists that are as passionate as you are. The idea is to not only learn from the instructors, but also through collaboration with your classmates. Everyone brings a unique background, skill level, and perspective to the class. With evening hours and weekend events you will get to know other students and staff on a personal level as well. It’s like summer camp for professional bench artists!
