Jessica shares a lot of useful tips, knowledge, and experience.
The course gives the understanding of how to work with different materials, and how to plan your project. It's great for the beginners to try themselves in miniatures:)

This course is amazing! I haven’t done my project since I’m waiting on my materiales from 4D model shop which were a little expensive. But, even without the practice I can already understand everything. And the fact that I can see it all be done and go back to watch as I do it is amazing. Jessica Dance is a fantastic teacher.
