If there is no listing yet for registration, contact the school anyway and tell them you are interested and they will stay in touch or put you on a waiting list. Also get thee on their email list and sign up for my emails to get current updates!
Note about virtual classes - Silvera Jewelry School Virtual Classes tend to be longer as they include time for students to work during class and try out techniques being demonstrated. Metalwerx classes are more demonstration based, live and prerecorded. Both schools offer recordings of the classes for 30 days to students.
Metalwerx Jewelry Studio is based in Massachusetts so their virtual listings are on Eastern Standard Time where as Silvera Jewelry School is based in California so their virtual classes are listed on Pacific Time.
