Made in this room

Small experiments.
Real discoveries.

The studio wall is our shared work in progress. See what classmates are building, find something that surprises you, and share your own experiments when you're ready.

Open the class board Step into the studio

Class-only. Post builds, resources, questions and what you learned on the class board; sign in to see what classmates share.

The practice is the point.

  1. Make something.Any medium. Small and unfinished is fine. Choose work that makes you curious.
  2. Write it yourself.At least one paragraph about your process, what you learned, and what's next.
  3. Share & listen.Demo groups alternate. Give real feedback, and learn from the room.

Weekly work is due Sundays at 11:59 PM. Canvas is the official home for submissions, grades, and announcements.
