“I remember teaching at Penland, and someone was saying that rather than go to grad-school they would spend the money on a whole bunch of fantastic workshops. It’s a lovely idea but it omits the potency of having a teacher that knows you, that holds you accountable, that is on your side, that sees your work develop over time. Cohorts.Art is designed to do that; the frequency and duration of the classes allows for rapport and iteration. The remote learning saves on cost, and the in-person workshop cements relationships and imparts techniques.” —Simon Levin
