~ Advanced Studies ~
What are Advanced Studies?
- Advanced Studies are more complex and challenging than typical crafting projects. They can be in any category or genre that you wish
- You are to choose the course of study you wish to take in a particular subject. Research your desired subject, find a facet of that subject that you wish focus your advanced studies. Form a plan of action, and make your proposal. The possibilities are endless!
How long should Advanced Studies take?
- Advanced Studies are more time-consuming than regular HPC classes and challenges. There is no hard and fast rule on how many hours a project should take, because speed and difficulty levels are too subjective. What we are really looking for is a project that will be a personal challenge to you. That being said…
- Advanced Studies should generally take 3-4 weeks to complete
Proposing Advanced Studies
- You must propose your Advanced Studies before starting so that we may be your cheerleaders and help encourage you during this more challenging craft adventure
- When you have settled on a challenging project that will take the required amount of time that you would like to propose, post in the HPC thread using the following header:

Brief Description: (how it fits the requirements, pattern/techniques used, materials using, plan of action, expected timeline, etc.)
- Your proposed project will be added to the ongoing list of proposed Advanced Studies projects by the Advanced Studies Examiner, @Abbeeroad
- Please note, you may only work on up to 2 Advanced Studies project at a time. Please do not propose new Advanced Studies until your current ones are complete
- You may propose an Advanced Studies project at any time during the semester
- Advanced Studies can carry over to the next semester
- If you decide to abandon and Advanced Studies project, notify your Advanced Studies Examiner, @Abbeeroad, and the log will be erased from the record. Once you have submitted to have an old Advanced Studies project erased, you can propose a new one
- Please note, after 3 years, old Advanced Studies project will be removed from the log automatically unless an extension is requested by an active HPC member
