Education is at the core of what DFAC is all about. We have some of the most talented and respected faculty around. As we look to bring their knowledge out of our traditional Studio/Classrooms and into the digital realm, we’ll be trying many things. Some will be more successful than others for all of the different types of study we undertake daily at DFAC. Let us know your favorites. What works… what doesn’t.
In order for this social distancing to work, we’re going to have to get closer in many ways… We’re looking forward to the journey. We hope you’ll be joining us!
We’re busy revamping a couple of our Studio/Classrooms
