How Does Live Streaming Work?

For months, even years we've searched for a way to do this, and finally the right video and technology people have stepped into our company and now we are able to offer it.

A live experience, capturing all the angles you need to follow along as if you were there with us, and dare I say maybe even better than being in person.

After all, when you go to a live jewelry class do you get to look right down on top of the instructors hands the entire time in high definition without leaning over, bending your neck or straining your eyes to see it?

Do you get to work from the comfort of home in your ideal Jewelry Making Environment, where you can wear what you want, always be on time, and where you have every tool available?

Well that's what you get in a live streaming class, and because you're attending over the internet we can accommodate a lot more students without the higher price of an in-person class where we have limited seating.
