Investment
$1,644, materials included.
That’s 15+ skill areas and instructor-led sessions twice a week with a cohort of people working toward the same thing. Compare that to piecing together workshops and courses on your own and never quite getting there.
A sliding scale is available. If cost is a barrier, reach out. We want to make this work.
MakeHaven membership ($62/month) is required during the program, with open shop access beyond class hours. It can be paused when the program ends.
