🎺 the Find Your Creative Voice Course doors are opennnnn! 🎺

In case ye missed it, or you’re still on the fence about joining…

“I have so much to do - there’s no way I can squeeze in an 8-week course too 😩” 

Not to worry! We give you lifetime access so you can bask in each module for as loooong as you need to. We do 3 live calls per live round (the majority of the course is there for you to go through at a time that works for you) and when we *do* have a live thing, we record it so you can catch the replay 🥳. We’re worldwide-time-zone-friendly. We also provide closed captions for all of our videos *even* the live calls have a transcript.

“Ok great. I’ll join next time.”
Brilliant! Please note that we last ran this course 9 months ago, so you might be waiting a while 😅 (Just tellin’ you now so you don’t cry or get angry waiting for the doors to open again.)

“I don’t have any qualifications in art or drawing etc. Am I ok to join?” 
YES! In fact, we think naivety is a superpower ✨ ✨ ✨ you do not need a formal qualification to join our course. There are creatives from all kinds of backgrounds who join in - from complete beginners to full-time creatives who want to boost their creative confidence and make work they feel really proud of.

Hope that helps! 

If you have ANY other questions (even silly ones - we like those too) please fire away in the comments. 

Doors close at Art Club on Friday 20th Jan (or when we reach capacity)

The course arrives in your inbox at 10am on 23rd Jan. No need to panic tho, you have lifetime access. First rule of Good Ship NO PANICKING ALLOWED!

🚢 ✏️ ✨
