Before you start

Questions learners and makers ask.

Where do I take a course?

On your phone or computer, in your browser. You pick up where you left off.

The free New Schools app arrives in December.

Who teaches the courses?

Artists, makers and experts: photographers, painters, ceramicists, printmakers, designers. Some teach from a museum's collection, some from their own studio. Each course is theirs.

How is this different from a video course?

A video stops. A course here keeps teaching between your classes: ask a question in the maker's voice, practise, send in your own work and get feedback on it, pick up where you left off.

What does a course cost?

Each maker sets their own price. Exploring museums stays free.

Can I teach on New Schools?

Yes. Bring what you already have, your notes, your slides, the way you explain it on a Saturday. Shape it by talking to the School Builder, approve it, publish it. Nothing goes live until you say so.

Do makers keep their students and their material?

Yes. Your method stays yours, your students are your students, and you see who kept learning. The cut is fair and it is written down before you publish.
