Best of all? As soon as you sign up you will be linked on email with your Stage 32 Educator and given a questionnaire to fill out and send back to them. You will have access to your Educator for the duration of your class by email to ask them any questions you have about your craft or career - it’s like having a mentor on demand! And, if you can't make a live session, don't worry! All class recordings will be available 48 hours after each session and you will be able to view them in your Library on your Stage 32 profile. Finally, you can expand your network with like-minded creatives - you'll have a dedicated lounge for interactive support and discussions with your fellow classmates!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #008080; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for Alexia's Work and Teaching:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #222222; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(49, 236, 227); font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Alexia Melocchi's two part class was hugely productive for its' interaction, constructive criticism and broad based information all the while hosting a friendly environment.
