Ms. Burns took most of the class time today to demonstrate the importance of creating a professional J Hook Clasp. Many of the students had tried to complete one, but were having trouble. She gathered all the students and went step-by-step through the process. The end result was successful. Many of the students now can create one well.

She started by handing out this great step-by-step instruction handout. Then she demonstrated the technique and had the students follow. Below are some videos and photos of the students working on making their hooks.
