The academy has twenty workshops at its disposal. Some of these are for general use and others are specific to particular departments. The workshops enable students to experiment with different techniques and materials and provide the opportunity to learn to use professional equipment. They form the very heart of the academy.

We (ten students of different departments) left the Rietveld Academie to fly to Kathmandu, Nepal. The next coming month we will work on the project ‘53 SECONDS AND 5 YEARS LATER’ where we will work together with ten Nepalese students of the KU Art University. We take the earthquake of 2015 as a starting point to create work together. Every Rietveld student is connected to a Nepali student and it's proposal. Is the earthquake still visible and and how can the Rietveld students play a role within this still felt aftermath.
