HGH JEWELRY INSTITUTE POLICY
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 well-being 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
Our School timing for most of the classes is from 9AM to 3PM. So make sure to attend the class on time; otherwise, the hours that you miss in the class will not be extended.
If the student is still not around after one-two hours of the stated class schedule ( 9am – 3pm) without notification, the class is automatically cancelled and cannot be resumed.
Programs are tightly scheduled. Failure to complete eighty-percent of the projects will result in failing the program. If a student is tardy, cuts class, or leaves early, the student does so at his/her own expense. If a student fails to complete at least four days of a ten day program, he/she will not receive a certificate.
Absent days can only be rescheduled if the student provides proof of legitimate excuse, such as a doctor’s note, accident report, etc.. A student with proof of a legitimate excuse may re-schedule within one month of the absence.
If you have completed your sessions and still have unfinished work, it is not our responsibility. It’s important to balance your time and we can help you best utilize your sessions and set realistic expectations based on skill. If your piece only needs 1-3 more sessions to complete you can purchase sessions individually, anything more than that we require the student to purchase a 4 session class pack.
PAYMENT
The price for our Programs is fixed. Please make sure about your registration. The money will not be refunded under any circumstances; only you can change the course date if the student provides proof of legitimate excuses, such as a doctor’s note, accident report, etc.
If the student cancels the class after the program has been started, the course won’t be held again.
