Summer School

​This June-July 2026, The School of Making Thinking is offering our fifth semester of online classes for Summer School. Why? We are expanding the reach of our peer-led classes, supporting artists to build a community of practice, grow their school of thought, and deepen their methodology. Plus, summer's cool.

Summer School courses are open for registration. Classes will take place over five weeks June 22 through the July 24, 2026. All classes will take place online.  Tuition is sliding scale $125-$375.  We offer a limited number of $75 solidarity rate spots and scholarships for each class. More info on each class via the links below.
