Fast track your new skill: Learning from an expert will also fast track your learning time. Being self-taught is fine and dandy but can take years to master. Why not use your instructor’s experience to help you save tons of time while you learn?

Find value in practice: Lots of people learn better when they are held accountable. Have you ever been so excited to do something and then after a few rounds you start to lose interest? It happens to the best of us, but the accountability of creative workshops and lessons can certainly help you keep your passions going strong and keep you practicing long enough to improve your skills.

Making new connections: Workshops are a great way to make creative connections. You’ll not only get to know your instructor, but you’ll be able to make connections and build relationships with your fellow students. This will also help make you accountable and keep you practicing.
