Introducing Skillshare Live Sessions: Create and Connect in Real Time!

Live Sessions offer a new way to tap into your creative side. Our ongoing digital event series offers Skillshare members and teachers the opportunity to make something in real time alongside a community of like-minded creatives. Each session helps creatives like you deepen your practice, interact with inspiring teachers you love (to supplement all the on-demand learning you can do with Skillshare classes!), and walk out of that session with a piece of work or a new insight you are proud to show and share.
New Live Sessions are released on an ongoing basis, so check back here on the blog to discover new topics and teachers. Spots can book up quickly, so if a Live Session excites you, don’t hesitate to reserve your spot today.
