As quite a few of you know when we ran our survey a month ago, that we were about to launch an online space that’s dedicated to learning for artists, illustrators, and crafters. So, after a year of planning, months of sleep loss and lots of soul-searching along the way, I’m so pleased to share with you all my latest project: Camp Pikaland.
We’re on a mission to spread the idea of art education beyond borders; where everyone with a computer and an internet connection are able to connect with artists personally so that they can learn from them directly. The classes we offer will be open to all levels of learning, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced artist looking to brush up their skills.
At the moment, we’re so thrilled to be able to offer classes such as Taking Illustration Beyond 2D by Kim Welling and The Sellable Sketch: Developing an Irresistible Surface Design Collection by Michelle Fifis of the Pattern Observer among many others. There will be more classes and teachers to come, and I am excited beyond words. I’d love to have you join us – whether you’re coming along as a student or as a teacher.
A special mention goes to those who have participated in our survey – you’ve made my heart burst with gratitude and joy. Thank you all so much for all your continued support as we march along our new path, and we hope to grow with you along this exciting journey!
