HUGE NEWS: Win a live review with Riley! Plus get your FREE Sale Guide

Our popular course, My Toy Pitch, is a one-of-a-kind, innovative online course that will teach you how to turn play into pay. Taught by art agent Lilla Rogers and art agent, creative director and inventor of the smash hit Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game, Riley Wilkinson, you’ll explore the booming and increasingly art-driven toy and game market, and create five ready-to-send pitches for unique toys and games featuring your gorgeous art.

Since its launch last year, My Toy Pitch has run as a live course, but it’s now available for the rest of 2022 as a self-paced course before running as a LIVE course again in 2023. This means that you get instant access as soon as you sign up!

Toy pitch created by Make Art That Sells student Marieke de Beurs for My Toy Pitch. Get it now, save 20% off, and you could win a 1:1 with creative director, toy creator and art agent Riley!

Wait, there’s more! Although this is a self-paced course, Lilla knows that deadlines are an artist’s best friend. So to keep you motivated and accountable, there will also be a LIVE review later in the year for everyone who’s submitted art to the class gallery. This means that not only could you find out exactly what Lilla and Riley think of your art (and you’ll still learn loads even if your art isn’t chosen), but you’ll also be getting your art directly in front of TWO art agents!

BUT WAIT, there’s even more! Not only that, but everyone who registers for My Toy Pitch as a self-paced course, and submits work to the gallery by May 31st, will have a chance to win a fantastic 1:1 live review with Riley. Sign up now.
