What I love most about Pratt is the instructors are not only unbelievably strong technical instructors but also amazing artists. I didn't just want to learn how to MIG weld, I also wanted to learn about creating a composed sculpture. That's exactly what I learned in Bill Baber's class. Pratt's facilities are top notch! Highly recommended!

I studied art at the university level and have found Gage classes to be far superior. And the new building is wonderful! Gage is not just an academy, but a community. Kudos to Director Kathleen Allen for her efforts in establishing Gage in its new location in the Westlake area, the heart of Seattle.

The instructors are all incredible, and provide such thoughtful teaching whether you're an advanced student or have never touched a paintbrush. I've been taking classes for years in capitol hill, and I'm excited to take more at the new location in south lake union. The art instruction you get here is unmatched, and its cool to see artists who have come out of Gage have their work in galleries and other professional establishments.

We approached Drawn2Art for support with our 17‑year‑old son's AP Drawing portfolio, and the…read moreexperience has been exceptional. Even before enrolling, Emmett, the directors, and two teachers took the time to meet with us, learn about his ideas, and offer thoughtful guidance. Our son now works weekly with Tommy, and we've seen meaningful growth in both his technical skills and artistic voice. The class encourages independence, experimentation, and reflection, while Tommy provides insightful feedback and helps him stay organized with the demands of the AP portfolio. As the AP submission deadline approached, Tommy was especially supportive--offering ideas for themes, guiding him through the written components, and even sharing his own personal watercolor paints. The work our son is creating is something he's genuinely proud of, and he plans to continue even after the portfolio is submitted. As a parent, I also appreciate how flexible and supportive Emmett has been with scheduling. We've known Drawn2Art since our son was younger, and it's wonderful to see that same level of care carried into a more advanced, college‑level art experience. We highly recommend Drawn2Art for any student seeking serious artistic growth in a nurturing, supportive environment.

My daughter started here 7 years ago with nothing but curiosity and a box of crayons. Today she's…read moreconfident with composition, color theory, shading, and multiple mediums I can't even pronounce. That's all thanks to Drawn2Art. What makes the studio special is the teachers. They are patient with fundamentals but never kill the joy of creating. They know when to push for cleaner work, when to let a student experiment, and how to give critique that makes kids want to improve. Over the years they tailored projects to my daughter's interests, introduced new techniques at just the right time, and celebrated progress in a way that built real confidence. The studio feels like a second home to my daughter! After 7 years, my daughter doesn't just do art -- she thinks like an artist. We're so grateful. She loves it enough that she now helps out in the studio sometimes, which says it all. Thank you to Drawn2Art and the great teachers for making every class so fun and enjoyable.

Although I wasn't part of the experience, my daughter went to a birthday party here yesterday. She…read moresaid it was fantastic and she would love to have her own party there. There was an instructional portion for the ceramics and then the kids were allowed to make their own items. She made a bowl and a cat. The family was also able to bring pizza and cupcakes in. She had such a great time that we have been checking out other classes that are held here. Very neat spot.

Open Arts is a studio offering classes in drawing, pottery, sewing, voice, piano and guitar. Most…read moreclasses are for children/teens, but they do have a fair set of classes for adults as well. John, the director of Open Arts Studio, is a dynamic guy who is so charismatic...it's easy to envision him sitting at a piano, leading a bunch of people in song around a piano a la Cole Porter. He's the voice teacher and drawing teacher and he's great at both. Home schoolers note: they offer classes during the day for home school students! For me, one caveat is the price. It's not astronomical, but most classes are about $125 for a session, about 5 classes, and it adds up. I believe it's because of this that some classes aren't very full. On the up side, if you take more than one class, or have multiple children enrolled, you get a 10% discount. They hope to add cooking classes somewhere down the line. We are looking forward to the addition as I know my daughter would learn a lot because they are both organized and inspiring at Open Arts!
