A few things to know

Make yourself
right at home.

The details, so you can look forward to the fun.

Is registration really free?

Yes. Registration gives you free access to the workshops on October 13–15, 2026. Each day’s sessions are available for 24 hours. No credit card is required.

How do I join the workshops?

A new email arrives each morning of the event with that day’s workshop links, and every one of them comes from Destini | HobbyScool. Day 1 workshops go live at 9am ET Tuesday, October 13 and stay free to watch until 9am ET Wednesday, October 14. Day 2 runs 9am ET Wednesday to 9am ET Thursday, and Day 3 runs 9am ET Thursday, October 15 to 9am ET Friday, October 16. If you don’t see the email, check your promotions or spam folder, and email help@hobbyscool.com and we’ll get you in.

Do I need to buy supplies first?

No, and you’ll have plenty of notice. Your supply list arrives with your confirmation email as soon as you register, so you have it weeks before October 13. Most workshops use things you likely already have at home, and nothing on the list is required to attend.

What if I want more time to watch?

After you register, you can choose the optional VIP All-Access Pass for $47. It keeps all 26 workshops yours to rewatch whenever you like, plus 17 bonus resources from the speakers. It’s a one-time payment with a 14-day money back guarantee, and you can enjoy the whole free event without upgrading.

Do I have to attend at a specific time?

No. The workshops are prerecorded and released daily at 9am ET. Watch whenever it suits you during each day’s 24-hour free access window.

Do I need to make every project?

Choose the workshops that interest you. You can make along with a favorite project, explore a new technique, or simply watch for inspiration.

Can a friend join me?

Absolutely. Share this page so your friend can register for their own free pass and receive the event emails.
