SAFETY GUIDELINES
By covering both the materials and safety guidelines, students can learn not only the technical skills but also the importance of working safely in the studio. Providing a thorough understanding of materials, tools, and techniques ensures that students have the knowledge and skills to create beautiful jewelry while prioritizing their own wellbeing and that of others.
When making Jewelry , you must wear GOGGLES to protect your eyes at all times, especially when using files and flex shaft. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
Additionally, please use a mask in order to prevent inhaling any dust. (To re-use the mask, we recommend putting zip lock bag and write your name). This will be especially necessary when using the shaft.
When cutting silver, gold, or brass, do not discard any excess material; please set the excess material aside in designated containers.
Please keep your hair tied back at all times (especially when using the shaft and Rolling Mill). Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
The School assumes no responsibility for injuries or other damages induced by the students on their person, or their own, or other student’s personal properties. Student behavior and the proper use of the facilities and equipment will be practiced in accordance with the school regulations.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
CLASS TIMINGS & PUNCTUALITY:
- Most classes are scheduled from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Students must arrive on
time, as any missed hours will not be extended. - If a student is absent for one to two hours after the scheduled start time (9:00 AM – 3:00 PM) without prior notification, the class will be automatically cancelled and cannot be resumed.
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS:
- Students are expected to attend all scheduled sessions of their course.
- Our programs are tightly scheduled, and students must complete at least 80% of the projects to pass.
- If a student is consistently tardy, leaves early, or misses a class, it is at their own expense.
- If a student fails to attend at least eight out of ten days in a 10-day program, they will not receive a certificate.
ABSENCE & RESCHEDULING POLICY:
- Absences can only be rescheduled if the student provides proof of a legitimate excuse, such as a doctor’s note or an accident report.

ABSENCE LIMITS & CONSEQUENCES:
For 10-Day Courses:

- If a student notifies the institute of their absence on the same day, the session will not be postponed or rescheduled.
