FAQs
Q. What if I can’t make the live calls?
A. All live Q&A sessions are recorded and added to your account within 48 hours. You have lifetime access to watch on your schedule. (Note live calls are only included in the live cohort not the evergreen self-paced course)
Q. I’m already a Thriving Artist Membership subscriber—should I still join?
A. Your membership gives you access to hundreds of classes, including some earlier pattern-design lessons. But this Masterclass is a curated, step-by-step roadmap (with updated demos, cohort support, live Q&A, and exclusive Template Power Pack 2) that you won’t find inside membership. If you want a clear, guided path to a market-ready pattern collection, this is the fastest, most focused way to go.
Q. I only want the extra templates—can I buy Template Power Pack 2 separately?
A. Yes! If you don’t need the full Masterclass you can purchase Template Power Pack 2 on its own in the Artist Resources section. Early-bird and full-price cohort members get it free—but you can grab it anytime as a standalone add-on.
Q. How long will I have access to the course materials?
A. Lifetime access to all videos, templates, and resources—plus any future minor updates. You can revisit at any time to refresh your skills or re-export your patterns.
