What our students say about our teachers
We just had our last class with Zuzana on the performative self portrait and I am feeling very inspired and driven to continue working on the self portrait — it feels very personal, in a true way. Thank you for giving me the opportunity!
—Eugenia (Berlin)
Anja's class helped me much more than I was expecting. I was a bit lost in proceeding with my raw idea in the beginning, but the classmates from diverse backgrounds were there with me along the whole journey, sometimes as a critic and sometimes as a supporter, and their thoughtful feedback pushed me forward a lot. I recommend Anja's online classes to anyone who wants diverse feedback and the intimacy of the classroom experience.
—Hee Jung (South Korea)
Marina creates a warm, accepting and encouraging environment and pushes just enough. As a result, each student’s final work was very personal, from the heart.
—Lisa (New York City)
I enjoyed the class, and my confidence in working with InDesign is growing — I think that zines will be the perfect medium for me to realize some of my ideas. And thanks for all of your input. It helps me see things in a new way.
—Cynthia (New York City)
Meng’s workshop was beautiful, thank you.
—Sam (Mexico City)
