eDesign Academy

Study designing online at home!

eDesign Academy is aimed at people of all ages interested in design and crafts from all around Finland and the world. You can participate alone or gather friends or colleagues to form a group and join together!

The evening group meets on Google Meet on Mondays from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM, and the day group meets on Tuesdays from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM.

The theme for Spring 2024 is "Medieval Times - a new era of design." During this term, students will study the secrets of printing and medieval castles, while learning about material-oriented design and proportions.

Now you can also choose individual topics that interest you from the spring program and participate in those sessions only. A single session includes an introductory session held separately, followed by the actual topic discussion with the rest of the Distance Design Academy group according to the schedule.

In eDesign Academy, you study the basics of arts education with a focus on design, just like other teaching groups at the Design Academy, through remote connections. Upon completion of the studies, you will receive a certificate, which can be beneficial, for example, when applying for further studies.

To participate in eDesign Academy, you need an internet connection, a computer and/or smartphone, a sketchbook, and specific materials and tools related to the topic. The instruction is carried out through Google Meet video calls. Each teaching session covers the season's topic through theory and practical activities.

Note! Teaching is mostly in Finnish.

Medieval Time - A New Era of Design

During the semester, we will explore the great visionaries and inventors of the era, conduct experiments, and make observations with various materials. We will learn how printing technology evolved and explore different printing techniques through hands-on activities. In the spring, the focus will be on material-oriented design and proportions.
