  • All courses are offered to participants aged 19+.

    Applications will be processed as quickly as possible. Some courses may require further interviews or information from applicants.

  • For those who live outside of the Sudbury region, there are several ways to get to Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. We are about a 4 hour drive north of Toronto, Ontario.

    Sudbury also has an airport with transfers through Toronto via Air Canada or Porter Airlines, and with Bearskin Air if coming through northern communities.

    There are also bus routes for bus lines Flixbus and Ontario Northland which stops at the terminal in Sudbury and sometimes directly at the University.

    Getting to Manitoulin Island can be a little tricky as there is no public transportation that will take you all the way to our studio.

    If you are driving yourself to Manitoulin Island, there are a couple of ways to travel: a beautiful scenic drive by northern highway all the way to the North side of the island, across the swing bridge into Little Current, ON, or by the Chi Cheemaun Ferry from Tobermory ON. to South Baymouth, ON on Manitoulin Island.

    Participant pick-up and drop-off from either the Sudbury Airport or Ontario Northland bus terminal and onward to Manitoulin Island can be arranged for students for a small fee.

    There is free daily and overnight parking in both locations for all participants of the workshops.
