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.

Lesly is an amazing teacher and human being. She helped me a lot throughout this process of being a new mother. I hope I’ll keep photographing at home for a long-term project, documenting my son’s life and my motherhood experience.
—Cris (Florida)
This has been a great class to finally learn how to put the many images that live on my computer in a book form — Edward lays out a clear and very helpful course to accomplish your own zine or book.
—MG (Brooklyn, NY)
Online classes take many forms, but the best I've experienced have been live online classes with a small cohort of dedicated students and a committed teacher. I've used online classes to help push projects forward, solicit objective feedback from teachers and fellow students, and to explore new approaches to capturing images and building my skills.
