What our students say about our teachers

This is the first class | took with StrudelmediaLive — later I took their workshop on using InDesign to make a book or zine. Nothing’s been the same since!
The workshops expanded my photographic horizons 1000%.

—Bobby (Washington DC)

Zuzana is excellent. She sees the potential in everyone’s projects and has a multitude of astute suggestions about how things are working and how to make them more effective.

—Kevin (New Jersey)

As a black-and-white photographer without any art education beyond crayons, I knew I needed to learn color someday. Shala taught me how to think and see in color, so I now seamlessly switch between color and black-and-white based on the emotions I’m trying to convey. She excelled at facilitating our group’s discussions and had terrific links to things we needed to read and look at to help us expand our vision. I am forever grateful for her mentoring and guidance.

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)

Edward is a lovely person who gives his time and skills generously and is committed to maximizing the results of the book or zine. It was exciting to start the class knowing nothing about InDesign and to end with a book at the printers! Thank you Edward!
