Who this is for
Built for makers, emerging design brands and artisan founders who are ready to grow.
Whether you're an independent maker or running a craft-led brand, Studio Iken Learn is the structure and support to get you there.
01
You're carrying too much on your own
Same challenges, same overwhelm. Busy but not moving forward. You want a clear plan and people who actually understand your world — not generic business advice that doesn't account for the realities of craft.
02
You're done with advice that doesn't fit your business
Standard business coaching wasn't built for makers. You need strategy grounded in your sector, your constraints, and your values — not a framework designed for a completely different industry.
03
You know you need market access but don't know where to start
Wholesale, retail, trade shows, digital presence — there's too much noise. You want a real framework for getting your work in front of the right buyers, in the right way.
04
You want to use AI but don't know how it applies to you
You've heard what's possible. You just need someone to show you how to use it practically — for your actual craft business, not a tech startup. No jargon. No overwhelm.

What's included in every cohort :
Six weeks. Five core elements. One optional upgrade for deeper strategic support.
01. The Studio Session
Weekly 90-minute live session on Google Meet on Wednesday. Practical, focused teaching on a topic directly relevant to your business. Actionable strategy you apply immediately.
02. The Working Space
Weekly 60-minute group session where one or two members bring a real challenge on Monday. We work through it together. Everyone learns — including you. This is where the most unexpected breakthroughs happen.
03. The AI Atelier
Every session includes a dedicated AI segment — a practical tool or workflow you implement in your business that week. No theory. No overwhelm. Here's the tool, here's how makers use it, now try it.
04. The Makers’ Room
Async community access between sessions. Share wins, ask questions, get feedback from peers navigating the same realities as you — from anywhere in the world, at any time.
05. The Field Kit
A weekly resource drop — a practical guide, framework, or worksheet linked directly to that week's topic. Tools you can use in your business immediately. Not content that sits in a folder.
06. The Strategy Table
Core + Strategy tier only. Bi-weekly private 60-minute consultancy with Sabrina — focused entirely on your specific challenges, goals, and next steps. Your business. Your agenda.
Pricing
Two ways in. One community. Both tiers give you full access to the core programme. Choose the level of strategic support that's right for where you are.

The right room makes all the difference.

You learn better alongside people than alone
You're ready to explore AI as a genuine business tool — from scratch if needed
You're ready to invest in your growth with intention and show up for the work
Not right for you if...
You're looking for a passive course to consume at your own pace
You're not ready to show up, participate, and do the work
You want one-to-one coaching only, without the community element
You want theory without hands-on implementation

Who you'll be learning with
Sabrina Iken — strategist, maker advocate, bridge-builder.
I've spent 15 years working inside the artisan and design economy across four countries — building ethical supply chains, launching my own brand, growing a B2B Marketplace, directing $6M+ in global impact programmes, and advocating for makers at every level.
I built Studio Iken Learn because the makers I've worked with are extraordinary — and they deserve strategy, systems and community that actually fits their world and their business. Including the AI tools that are reshaping it.

A 6-week cohort programme for makers, artisan founders, and craft-led brands. It combines live teaching, peer problem-solving, hands-on AI tools, async community, and strategic resources to help you grow with clarity and intention.
-
This is not a passive course. You learn through live sessions, real conversations, and working through actual challenges — yours and your peers’. The community and Working Space format means you're learning from multiple perspectives every week, not just one voice.
-
None at all. The AI Atelier is designed for makers who are curious but haven't started, as well as those who've tried but don't know how to apply it consistently to their business. We start from where you are.
-
We strongly encourage it — the live sessions and The Working Space are where the real learning happens. All sessions are recorded and shared within 24 hours for those in different time zones or with scheduling conflicts.
-
2.5 hours of live sessions plus community engagement at your own pace. Budget 3–4 hours per week to get the most from the programme.
-
Core gives you everything — The Studio Session, The Working Space, The AI Atelier, The Makers' Room, and The Field Kit. Core + Strategy adds The Strategy Table: a bi-weekly private 60-minute consultancy session with Sabrina focused entirely on your specific business challenges and goals.
-
We will be running a separate Spanish cohort to ensure you get the full content clearly in the near future.
-
The curriculum covers pricing, market access, brand positioning, supply chain basics, digital presence, and AI tools — all grounded in the specific realities of craft-based businesses. The curriculum is being shaped by our founding cohort members. Join us and take our 3-minute survey to tell us what you need most — your input directly shapes what we cover. Link to survey here

Spots are intentionally limited to preserve the quality of the community and the depth of engagement. Once Cohort 1 is full, a waitlist opens for Cohort 2.
