Student Comments:

This class with John is revolutionary. It is breaking open
everything I hoped for, and giving me a window into my creative
control. Great toolbox, his approach.

... John [Swanbeck] doesn't accept anything but greatness from the people he works with, ...he is able to bring out that greatness in anyone...  I left his class wanting more out of myself.
