{"title":"Full Session Classes","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFull session classes at the Creative Arts Center of Dallas run six to eight weeks, meeting once a week with the same instructor and the same small group from start to finish. This is the format for going deep — enough time to move past the basics, build real technique, and end the session with work you're proud of. Whether you're throwing your first pots on the wheel, drawing from a live model, or learning to cut and weld metal, you get eight weeks of hands-on studio time to actually develop the skill, not just sample it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eClasses are open to adults at every level, from complete beginners to returning artists refining a craft.
