What our students say about our teachers
Kat Shannon did a superb job. She is an excellent photography instructor. She is thoroughly prepared and is creative in her content and assignments/prompts. She has considerable depth in her photography knowledge and is articulate and stimulating. She is kind. I will definitely consider another class with Kat.

I wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying Jolanda’s class. She’s a wonderful teacher and I love getting the notes and images she references in class. Looking forward to the photo transfer to fabric process!
—Kathy (New Jersey)
Daura and Samanta did a wonderful job facilitating this class — they were super prepared for each class and gave us really helpful resources and video tutorials that I referred to multiple times when trying out assignments. I enjoyed learning other methods of alternative processes (although cyanotype is still my favorite).
—Tina (New Orleans)
Fantastic class! Thank you Anja and Gianni.
