What our students say about our teachers

Thank you for this interesting course — Stefan certainly gave us a lot of information and a lot to think about. I wish the course was even longer!

Thank you Nestor, for a fun and illuminating DIY lighting class. I loved your combined free-wheeling “go for it” approach with the gentle but rigorous critiques. I learned a lot about intentionally “sculpting” with light to create mood and content. I also appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable in showing and talking about your personal work, which meant a lot to me. You created a mini-community of sharing and learning. Muchas gracias!

Liz’s bookmaking class was fabulous. She is a tremendous artist and an incredibly patient instructor, and she’s clearly an expert in her field. She is kind and friendly, and it was a terrific way to begin my Saturday mornings. I have many ideas for future projects!

Anita's Documentary Storytelling class is a creatively refreshing exploration of how to broaden your documentary practice…. She helped me think more holistically about the work I was creating. I felt as though her class nurtured an artistic side of my practice that’s often lost in discussions of technical expertise, photo critique, and sequencing. She digs deep and helps her students create more powerful projects.

Thank you both very much for a great course. I loved watching the movie clips and seeing students' interpretation through your talented guidance. See you again soon!
