FAQ

  • Who is The Blanket Fort Academy for?

    For anyone who’s ever said, “I used to be creative.” Our classes are designed for working creatives, returning artists, and people who just miss making things. Whether you’re in advertising, design, illustration, or something completely different, this is where you reconnect with your spark.

  • Do I need a degree or professional experience?

    For our Level 1 courses, you just need curiosity, a willingness to try, and the ability to show up. Level 2 & 3 courses may have prerequisites which are listed in the 'about' section of each course. Every course is taught at a college level, but the environment feels more like creative summer camp than a lecture hall.

  • How do live classes work?

    Each course runs for 12 weeks with a live, two-hour session each week plus a casual Saturday “Coffee Klatsch” check-in. You’ll get real-time feedback, community support, and zero pre-recorded snooze-fests.

  • What if I can’t make a class?

    Life happens. Recordings are available for enrolled students, and you can always connect with your instructor during office-hour sessions. Missing a class doesn’t mean you’ve fallen behind—it just means you’re human.

  • How small are the classes?

    Very. We cap most at six to eight students so you actually get time, attention, and meaningful feedback—not just a wave in a sea of muted zoom squares.

  • Is there anything included besides the class itself?

    Each course includes three bonuses: A 60-minute 1-on-1 Creative Coaching Session with our founder Colleen Finn, our Creator Archetypes Workshop to understand your creative personality, and our Time Management Seminar for Creatives who want balance without burnout

  • Can I really use what I learn here in my career?

    Absolutely. Every course is built to teach skills you can apply at work, in freelance projects, or to launch side hustles. You’ll leave with portfolio-ready projects and practical ways to monetize your creativity—no fluff, no filler.

  • Do you offer grades or certificates?

    No grades. No tests. But you will receive a custom Blanket Fort Academy Completion Certificate, social media badge, (and possibly a small trophy). Because you deserve recognition that actually makes you smile.

  • Why is it called The Blanket Fort Academy?

    Because creativity thrives where you feel safe to play. A blanket fort is the ultimate creative headquarters—imaginative, cozy, and built entirely from what’s already around you. We just added Wi-Fi.
