You likely won’t finish an entire deck during this course—but you will develop your concept, nail down your visual style, start illustrating a few cards, and build serious momentum. You’ll also get thoughtful feedback, weekly accountability, and a creative community to help you stay on track.
✨ All artistic skill levels welcome.
✨ All media welcome (just be able to scan or photograph your work and upload it to Google Drive).
✨ All levels of tarot knowledge welcome — we’re here to support each other as we create.
A few important notes:
This course is live only. Due to the personal and vulnerable nature of conversations that sometime arise, sessions will not be recorded.
Weekly attendance is a must — we’re building a collaborative space where peer feedback is key to your growth.
A minimum of 3 students is required for the class to run. Full refunds will be issued if that minimum isn’t met.
Payment is due in full when you register for the course. No refunds after that — this is to hold you accountable and light a fire under your magical butt and get your project going.
