Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this self improvement class:

Writer Natasha Randall describes looking at Twitter in between moments of mothering as taking “little sips of selfhood”— a seemingly mundane act but one that reconnects her to her community and her identity outside of motherhood.  

This course aims to help parent artists restart, renew, reinvigorate, or begin their creative practice in the context of their parenthood. The class will include some readings and undemanding yet engaging creative exercises focused around creativity, art making, and parenthood/practice relationships. However, the main goal of this course is to be a place of support, helping participants create and maintain systems that will work best for their life and art career. Biweekly meetings will help each student meet their individual goal set out at the beginning of the course. Example goals include refreshing your website, setting a new studio schedule, developing a new body of work, submitting an application, finding family friendly residency opportunities, or contemplating the meaning of parenthood and its effect on your specific creative practice. Even if you just need to clean your workspace, this course is a place to find accountability and camaraderie. 

Art practices of all stripes are welcome, as are parents at all stages of child rearing— pregnant individuals, new parents, seasoned parents, or even empty nesters-- anyone who wants to help their creative practice enmesh with the ever changing demands of parenthood.

A minimum of three students is required for all courses to run. In most cases, our registration deadline is 24 hrs prior to the start time of a workshop/class. 

Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.

Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.

Refund Policy

  • In the event a student must cancel their registration for a workshop, they may do so any time before and up to 15 business days prior to the workshop start date, and will receive an 85% refund.
  • In the event a student must cancel attendance from a workshop within 15 business days prior to the start of the workshop this will be considered a withdrawal and the student will receive a 50% refund.
  • A withdrawal made within 4 business days of a class will NOT be entitled to any refund.

Please provide us with as much advance notice as possible for consideration. Beyond this, we cannot be held responsible for any cancellations outside of our control.

Unless otherwise stated, classes need a minimum of three students to run. In the off chance that a class is cancelled due to low enrollment, you will be refunded 100% of your tuition. Tuition costs for cancelled workshops can also be transferred to other classes or workshops.

We are not responsible for any non-refundable travel costs (such as airfare, train tickets or accommodation costs). If you are traveling long distances or from out of state, we advise you to consider purchasing travel insurance as workshops may be cancelled or postponed due to low registration or other unforeseen circumstances.

Due to the intensive nature of our workshops, we cannot offer makeup sessions outside of workshop time or in future workshops. Instructors are not required to bring students up to date during scheduled workshop time for missed days or lateness.

Refunds will not be given for absences or no shows. *This includes any illness or absence related to Covid 19.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
