Sophie's Art School

Here on the Art School website, you can find your workshop on the ‘Workhops’ page. Click the ‘enter’ button and inside you will find the access key button which will take you to the community Studi. The button is your secret access key.  Once you have used the key you will be able to access the Studio from within The Art Cafe.

All course communities live within The Art Cafe, in private sections called Studios. You will find the access key button under each lesson inside a course. The lessons usually invite you to post your assignments or questions and give you a link to the community Studio. 

As a member you will have free access to all workshops and you will only need to click ‘enter’ on the workshops.
A provisional workshop schedule is posted on the workshops page. On your dashboard the next upcoming workshop will always be at the top of the page.
Join the Mailing List and make sure you have set your preferences to ‘Art School’. You will then get the latest news and hot topics straight from school!

If you are a member or have purchased a course and you cannot get access to it, please try the following steps: Double check you are logged in. Clear your cache. Allow cookies so the system can remember you. Refresh the page (perhaps a few times). If you still cannot access your content, do contact Sophie. 

If you are a member of Sophie’s Art School then please head over to the Members’ Corner where you can post your work and get in-depth feedback from Sophie and your fellow members.
Alternatively you can head over to the public Art Cafe and post your work there and ask for feedback from fellow artists. 

The Art School is the website where all courses are based, registration and account info is held, etc. This is where you are now.
Every course has a forum or community where students can share their assignments, ask questions, etc. These course communities live inside The Art Cafe and are called Studios.
The Art Cafe is a public community: anyone can join and post, and whatever is posted can be seen by anybody on the internet. The Art Cafe has private areas (Studios) where the course communities are. These Studios are only accessible and visible by paid members.

Well, it’s your call of course. But as a member you get your own art family: In the Members Corner you can ask questions and get in-depth feedback on your work. You can write in your Art Journal while Sophie and your fellow members encourage and support you in your journey. ​You will have access to all courses and workshops, the resource library (Paint Box) and be part of a great community.
It does not matter whether you want to grow into a professional artist, or are happy to paint as a hobby, or whether you are a professional artist already; whether you are a student, retired, or busy working. Everyone is welcome and we will support you wherever your journey takes you. We all want to improve our art, yet never forget the enjoyment we get from it. 

Please contact Sophie who will reset your password for you, after which you can change it to anything you want.
