FAQ

Q. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ATELIER AND A DEMO?

A. DEMOS are one (1) day observation seminars. Nicolas Jurnjack creates the styles in front of all participants and there is a question and answer session.
ATELIERS are hands-on practice workshops that take place over several days. Nicolas Jurnjack creates the style in front of the participants. Each participant then gets a chance to practice the techniques and realize the style that has been demonstrated. During this practice session Nicolas Jurnjack will mentor the participants, give advice and feedback on progress, and answer questions.

Nicolas Jurnjack recommends starting with the ATELIER 01, this workshop will give you the knowledge and skills needed to be comfortable and up to speed when attending ATELIER 02.

Taking more advanced courses will afford you the skills and confidence to explore your inspirations to the full and successfully present your creative concepts.
