School history
The history of the school, our mission and team. How it all started in 2013 and what we have come to today.

«I like the idea that I can help other people develop and move in their creative direction. This was probably my main motive for opening the school. I saw the rough edges and disadvantages of public education, the fact that you don't know who you'll be learning from, how high-quality that knowledge will be. And there was simply nowhere to learn many things. But if something is missing, you can create it. This served as an additional impetus.»

«Our goal is to nurture a new generation of professional applied artists. This requires not only teaching skills, it is also important to foster taste and the ability to think outside the box, to know completely different approaches to solving problems and to communicate within the community. Not to be just an executor (although this is also very important and necessary), but to be an artist with your own view of the world, capable of solving both ordinary and complex creative tasks»
