A space for learning, creating, and connecting through photography

We had a great course with Olga Ginzburg. She sparkles. She’s enthusiastic, encouraging, and lively as a teacher. We were all sorry that five weeks flew by so quickly.

Many thanks to all of you who have accompanied me on my photographic journey with your great knowledge and empathy in the StrudelmediaLive workshops this year — embroidery with Jolanda Drukker Murray, cyanotype with Claudia Cortínez, the class about joy and pathos of everyday life with Allen Frame, and also photography as a pilgrimage with Kat Shannon.

Just a short message to say thank you so much for an amazing class! It was lovely and exactly what I needed at this stage of my projects.

Anja's course helped me to get out of my comfort zone and grow as a photographer — the assignments and the feedback helped me to be more honest about my work and challenge myself more. I cannot stress enough how useful her courses would be for anyone looking to improve as a storyteller and photographer. I really enjoyed the interactive part where you can speak and see the other people in class in real time — it really brings up the learning experience.  

I loved the embroidery class! Jolanda was a truly inspiring instructor. She provided a perfect mix of teaching/demonstrating specific embroidery stitches, collage techniques, and working with fabric, and commenting on and encouraging student work. I also appreciated her very thorough class notes, illustrated with examples she had shown in class. Jolanda emphasized the thought processes of making art, thinking about the “why” of what we were doing, which was eye-opening and inspiring. Thank you for offering this great class!
