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.

53 seconds and 5 years later... Here we are in Katmandu. As part of a team of 10 Rietveld Students and 10 KU Art Students, we now are at the 3rd week of our collaboration.
