No code arrived? Give it a minute, then check your spam or promotions folder. Double-check your email for a typo — if it's off, tap "use a different email" and try again.

About the code: When you enter your email, we send you a 6-digit code — check your inbox (and your spam folder, just in case). Type that code on this screen to sign in. There's no link to click and nothing to download; the code simply works for about an hour.

To install the app: on iPhone, open in Safari, tap the Share icon, then "Add to Home Screen." On Android, open in Chrome, tap the ⋮ menu, then "Add to Home screen." Then open it from your home screen and sign in there.

Any phone or computer works: the 6-digit sign-in code is the same whether you're on an iPhone, an Android phone, a tablet or a computer. The only thing that differs by device is how you add the app to your home screen (see above).

Still stuck? Email elin@charlesandelin.com — a real person will help.

Everyone deserves to thrive
I founded Survive to Thrive because I believe art is empowerment — not as a slogan, but as my lived truth. Creative expression allows us to process, heal, and become more fully ourselves.
Survive to Thrive works to bring empowerment through the arts to communities that need it most. Our flagship project, FLOW, is currently running transformative art classes for nearly 500 children in deep rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, showing the children that their voices matter — and it's just the beginning.
10% of every Studio membership goes directly to this work, which means the art practice here directly funds the art practice far beyond the studio. The mission runs full circle, and you're part of a growing movement.
To thrive, we need not only food for our bellies, but food for our mind and soul too.
Thank you for being here. Your presence and creative making in this space truly make an impact 💜
