Equitable Access We believe everyone deserves access to hands-on learning opportunities, regardless of income. That's why each workshop includes a limited number of Equitable Access seats. To help us share these opportunities widely: Each participant may claim an Equitable Access seat once per quarter (every three months). These spots are first-come, first-served and limited by class size. If you've already used an equitable seat this quarter, we ask that you register at full price so others can benefit. Please only claim these tickets if cost is truly a barrier for you — this helps ensure that those who need the support most can take part. Questions? Contact us at…
