What to Expect

This is a live workshop that will take place on Zoom. During the workshop, you will have a chance to ask the instructor questions and connect with your fellow classmates. After the workshop, we’ll provide you with a recording to review on your own time.

We’ll be in touch the week of the course with instructions for connecting and additional information. Please remember to set a reminder for yourself, adjusting for your timezone, and make sure to add hello@arttoolkit.com to your address book so our email doesn’t end up in your junk mail.
