We believe it's important to continue creating between workshops.

Students who enroll in three eligible Short Courses will receive a complimentary Weekend 2D Rent-a-Bench Pass, giving them dedicated studio time to continue exploring, practicing and developing the skills they're learning in class.

Rather than waiting a month for the next workshop, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the creative process, refine your skills and build confidence in a studio environment.

Whether you use the time to revisit a technique, complete unfinished prints or simply enjoy uninterrupted making, the Rent-a-Bench experience extends your learning beyond the classroom and helps transform new skills into lasting creative practice. You’ll also go into the draw to win our Studio Spotlight Prize.

The Studio Spotlight Prize:

Includes:

• Four weeks' complimentary Rent-a-Bench access.
• Professional photographs of you working.
• A featured artist profile.
• Your work shared across TLC social channels.
• Perhaps even a small online gallery feature. (could be a web page that hosts the artist profile and online gallery).

Any qualifying package could go into the draw (you can find out if a workshop is eligible at the bottom of the workshop's page.)

This then serves as a prototype for a new kind of learning experience: a TLC Journey Series model:

• Discover – Attend one workshop.
• Journey – Commit to the full series.
• Practice – Receive your included Studio Practice Pass.
• Belong – One participant wins an extended studio experience and becomes a featured maker.
