This week Joel Holland was in Gaborone, Botswana, Ruth Klotzel at the Stellenbosch Academy, South Africa and Götz Gramlich at the Zimbabwe Institute of Vigital Arts in Harare, Zimbabwe

We've received these two quite wonderful pieces of feedback on their work from the course leaders, which are genuinely heart warming. Thanks and congratulations to Joel, Götz and Ruth and everybody else involved.

"I just want to thank you very much for the wonderful human and designer Götz Gramlich! He's an amazing guy in every way and we feel incredibly lucky to have him here! The students have been blown away by his talent and also his humility! It's an experience they will not forget in their lives and he has opened up their eyes to the myriad of possibility in the world of design.

Best, Saki"


"I would just like you to know how impressed I have been with Joel in this workshop. I have a few of my students taking part as well as the designers and it has been a wonderful, instructive and inspirational experience for all - thank you for including us and congratulations on a magical idea - I suspect that this is the norm of response - power to you.

All the best, Steve."

This week we've held workshops in South Africa and Tunisia: at the Durban University of Technology, led by Leandro Castelao and at École Supérior des Sciences et Technologies du Design, led by Florence Robert.
