NEW! Webinar Option for this Class Only $79!
The Revere Academy will offer its first webinar class, in conjunction with the 2012 Masters Symposium class, “Prepare for Success.” This class is designed to give artists the skills they need to succeed in running their own businesses.
This is a special opportunity for jewelers and artists all over the country to study with Harriete Estel Berman, a professional artist and creator of the Professional Guidelines. The class is open to artists in all media and students at all levels can participate in this class without the costs of travel and lodging that would normally be incurred to attend a class in person at the Revere Academy, in downtown San Francisco.
Webinar participants will be able to view the instructor and Powerpoint presentations in real time via their computer, as will as submit their own questions and images for review by the instructor, much like the students who attend the class in person. Because this is the first time Revere has offered a webinar class, there is a special, one-time introductory price for the class of just $79! For more details, visit www.revereacademy.com/classes/symposium/prepare-for-success/. Webinar participants are required to have a computer with a high-speed internet connection. To register for the webinar, call 415-391-4179.
