Tutors and administrative staff
Metáfora is a small centre in many senses, but although our In-House-team sums up to only 7-10 tutors and admin staff, we have a great number of artists and other professionals collaborating with us on a steady basis.
All the teachers employed by Metáfora are highly qualified and trained professionals, and we put specific emphasis onto the fact that all our art-teachers are practising artists.
The team embraces Metáfora's international identity, and tutors and admin staff come from different corners of the world. Among the nationalities represented are Poland, Hungary, USA, Denmark, Catalonia, Germany, etc.
