Focused course

Forty hours to address a specific technical need.

Your existing practice is the starting point. Following an assessment, Alexandra works with you to identify the technical skill to develop and the reference points that will guide your progress. This 40-hour programme is for people with existing practice, related technical experience or observable aptitude.

Available only after assessment. This exceptional format cannot be booked directly and does not replace the 100-hour reference programme. Alexandra first reviews your practice, level and objective.

One point · three stages

From target to reviewed result.

Before

A target result and its visual criteria are set from the components or images you bring.

During

Support, tool path, pressure, preparation, width, transitions or a difficult area: the work stays on the chosen point.

After

The result is reviewed against the initial objective. Alexandra identifies what has stabilised and what still needs practice.

Christophe, Céline and Mélanie document three very different uses of the same forty hours. Christophe · Céline · Mélanie.
