Winter School

​This winter 2025, The School of Making Thinking is offering our second ever semester of online classes for Winter School. Why? Our peer-led, spring and fall semesters are such a success that we want to offer more opportunities like these for artists to build a community of practice, expand their school of thought, and deepen their methodology. Plus, what better way to warm up this winter?

Winter School courses are open for registration. Classes will take place over four weeks in February 2025. 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.
