What our students say about our teachers
I really enjoyed the class! I've been wanting to do embroidery for a while but haven't known where to start. Jolanda did a great job showing us a wide range of techniques and inspirations, and challenged us to create every week. I honestly thought the class was perfect. I plan to continue doing embroidery work on my photos.

I want to tell you again that your class was great. I'm very inspired. Is there any chance you and Edward can continue this class? I don't want it to end!! It encompasses everything I love.
—Lee (California)
I loved the class and learned so much — not just InDesign technical stuff, but also design and photography aesthetics… it was awesome!
—Bobby (Washington DC)
The mini-workshop on Tuesday was one of the best I’ve attended…. Not only did Maryna do a great presentation but the books she showed stretched my imagination with new ideas. Thank you for arranging such an interesting presentation!
—Don (Ohio)
Dortje is an excellent lecturer and was thoroughly prepared for each session. This class with her was interesting, and learning about the history of photo exhibitions of merit was rewarding. Dortje gave us the challenge of preparing a short lecture, which was a stimulating exercise since it had us transfer classroom information into real life experience. My understanding of the history of photography has been greatly expanded by having had two classes with Dortje.
