Remote format

Our remote workshops are based on the success of our in-person learning principles. Our goal is help participants learn not only from our instructors, but industry experts and peers. The workshop will be a mix of short lectures, solo reflection, and group activities. It’s a highly participatory remote workshop. Participants should be prepared to participate in a quiet space with stable wifi.


Who should attend

Any creative who wants to change the way they communicate about the work, and around the work.

This workshop minimum is 15 participants. If we do not receive the minimum registrations before the class begins, you will have the choice to reschedule for another workshop or receive a full refund.
