A Program That Meets Young Artists Where They’re At
Whether your young artist is just discovering their love of drawing or already filling sketchbooks with characters, this membership gives them structure, support, and space to grow. Each month includes weekly in-person classes led by a professional illustrator, hands-on projects, and open studio time to level up their art skills at their own pace. Classes are always running, so you can start any time!

Why Choose Us?
Future-focused training with strong artistic foundations
Students push their artistic skills by taking on challenging projects like character design, 3D objects, and world-building. We teach time-tested drawing methods that help students improve their skills and confidence week by week so students develop a portfolio they can be proud of!
A Flexible Schedule That
Fits Your Life
Classes run year-round almost every Saturday so you can start any time! Each level of the course is completed over 8 classes. Weekly video demos guide students through projects completed at home, then bring your completed weekly project to class for in-person feedback and tailored guidance. Attend the weeks you're able to, and skip when you need to.
Get Guidance & Encouragement in Our Supportive Community!
Our weekly sessions include regular feedback, validating critiques, and live demos that keep students motivated and supported. We provide a welcoming and safe space where young artists can connect with peers who share their passion for drawing.
