Life in the studio

Ideas grow through conversation, shared experiments, and hands-on coaching. Hear how one student describes the experience.

“
“I’m proud of my ability to revise and change things if something goes wrong because initially I had made a mistake by having my loft on the other side of the house, so I had to change my entire design but I was proud of how quickly I was able to change the design and move on from my mistake.”
