Most Pen & Tablet after-school programming is designed for students ages 8–14. Always check the individual class listing for the age range of that specific program.
What will students actually learn?
Classes can include digital drawing fundamentals, character design, colour, lighting, composition, storytelling, animation and creative project development.
Tablets & Equipment

No. We provide the equipment for use so you don't have to. Your child is welcome to bring their own tablet to program so long as they have the applications Procreate and Nomad Sculpt.
What Equipment do students use?
We use iPad Airs and Apple Pencils. We use Procreate, Nomad Sculpt, Procreate Dreams, and various pose applications.
Classes & Scheduling
How long is each class?
Class length can vary by location; we typically run programs for 1.5 to 2 hours. Programs usually run for 8 weeks, one day per week. Check the specific class listing for its start time, end time and session schedule.
How large are the classes?
We accommodate up to 10–12 students per class. Pen & Tablet is designed around small-group instruction so students can receive guidance and individual feedback while still creating alongside other young artists.
