This is an amazing place to learn a new craft!

I've taken two classes there now, sewing 101 and quilting. Taught by different instructors, both so excellent at de-coding patterns and supporting you each step of the way! Extra shout out to Emily reaching quilting 101, who goes above and beyond to make sure that 6-9pm is still a productive learning time, assigning easy homework we can do independently, and literally offering to lend me a sewing machine for home because I'm so behind. I look forward to taking more of their classes! From bras to jackets, they have weeks-long series as well as one days.

I decided this was the year I was going to learn how to use it and I signed up for sewing 101. I take a Saturday morning class with Lara and I cannot say enough good things. They make it so easy to follow along, answer every question (even when you ask the same thing 3 different times) are so patient! I was even able to bring in my Grandmother's machine and Lara helped me get it set up and recommended a few pieces and tweaks. I can't wait to continue my sowing journey at Butcher's Sew Shop and am excited for what I make nex!

I wish I had looked at the 1-star reviews before paying money to this company. When I asked for…read moreinformation on their CAPM course, they were quick to respond and to continue to contact me frequently. The sales agent put me in the wrong class and had to fix the date. At this point it was a struggle to get a response. She finally emailed me the correct dates after 3 emails from me requesting it. The virtual classes were dismal. The instructor read the slides verbatim and in a monotone voice. The quiz they added was a joke with 1 answer being obvious it was proj mgmt and the other three being ridiculous choices. The dates for my class approached shortly after my house was hit by Hurricane Milton. I requested a change to the class date because I had damage to my roof, ceiling and flooding on one side of my house. I emailed them and received a response that they were raising a ticket and I would hear from their back office in 24-48 hours, then....crickets. I waited almost a week then emailed constantly trying to get someone to respond. The class was only a week away. I disputed the charge because no one would contact me back. That made them take notice. I was pummeled with people reaching out but no one was documenting what was said in my account so I was getting call after call from overseas. I realize it was confusing since the error was on their part the first time the dates changed but I sent multiple screen prints showing the email dialogue between me and first agent. Either they didn't care to check or they have a bad CRM. After 4 different people contacting me, a new class was set up. I removed dispute once dates were confirmed. I still had hope that the actual class would be better. There was such a high Yelp rating that I had to believe it would have more material than virtual class but it didn't. The instructor was nice but the content lacking. He basically provided links to other sites. There was little instruction. At the end he sent a link to review TKA and requested we mention his name and submit within 30 minutes. I purchased a book and am doing my own training. I've learned more on Google in 2 hours than 3 days with TKA. I hope this saves someone else from spending money with this company.

Alumna review: Moore, the only all women's art college in…read moreAmerica will forever hold a special place in my heart, and it certainly helped shape me into the woman I am today. By no means was it easy, quite the opposite in fact, and it's certainly not for everyone, but it's an incredible place! You really get from it what you give into it....and it requires A LOT!! The staff is wonderful. In fact, a text sent to me the other day by my former teacher 14 years after I graduated prompted me to write this review. Michael Olszewski was my textile minor with an emphasis on print design teacher and was one of my favorite people on earth! He went above and beyond and would come in on his day off just to teach me a method of dying we hadn't learned yet, but one I wanted to try for my childrens' wear collection. He was also there to listen to me talk about life in general when I needed him to. A true gem. Janice Lewis, Linda Wisner and Lori in the fashion department are top notch. At times they became a second mother to me when I needed, but make no mistake, they take no crap. 2 absences, you fail. Done. These ladies will get you where you need to go. Their talent, knowledge of the industry and connections are unreal. They helped me score an internship with Betsey Johnson in New York City. I won awards form Tyvek, Ralph Lauren Accessories, Frank Agostino and Urban Outfitters. They are just a few of the guest designers who judge our collections! While at MCAD I met fellow alum Adrienne Vitadinni and Mark Badgley and James Mischka, Todd Oldham, and Betsey Johnson! Each year I attend their annual fashion show at The Barnes and you would be astonished by the talent! It's open to anyone so, go ahead! I was also given the sweetest intern from MCAD a few years back for my small business. The relationships are everlasting, both personal and professional. I secured a job in my field (besides my internships with Betsey, Chloe' and Motherwork Maternity here in Philly) within a month of graduating. I was a merchandiser for H&M for 6 years before opening my own business while staying at home to raise my daughters. Everyone I graduated with works in their field. Here, in LA or in New York. Have no fear about job placement. If you make it through your first basic year where all students are required take the same classes including 8 hour basic drawing and design classes etc, you're golden and can move on to focus on your major, and even take a minor which I highly recommend especially if they can go hand in hand such as fashion and textile which is what I did, and worked out beautifully. Unfortunately the textile department is no longer there, but you get my point. At MCAD you not only focus on your major and your art based classes, but are required to take general studies with exams and papers too. These classes however are unique such as women in religion, film studies, history of fashion and art history etc. My art history classes with the incomparable Kevin Richards gave me knowledge for life!! It gave me the background to truly appreciate visiting Firenze and the Ufizzi gallery, de Medici family grounds, the duomo in Milano, and The Pieta at the Vatican etc. I don't think I would be able to fully take it all in without the knowledge I had gained in my classes. I even use my design techniques everyday for something as simple as decorating my own home. The buildings are immaculate and kept very safe with security guards and badges for all visitors. Their galleries often host not only student work, but visiting artists as well. You can't get a better, safer, location than Logan Circle. The Barnes, The PMA, even The Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul (where we often took a trips to draw perspective) for inspiration right there. You're right in the middle of it all. Excellent section of the city. I lived in Sartain for my first two year on a picturesque tree lined street across the way and I think that's the way to go. It gave me a taste responsibility without extreme freedom and set me up for living on my own my last two years. It was nice to have access to the studios and have work space on each floor also. I knew Moore was where I belonged. It's the only school I applied to and I personally think it's the best art school in the entire city. My best advice to any potential students would be to take a summer class with Young Artist Workshop and definitely take the business classes. Don't give it being all female a second thought. It was so nice not having a distraction and coming to school in pjs if we wanted. :) The boys at Penn & Drexel weren't that far away and it was really like one big sorority here. I made great girlfriends for life and having graduated from MCAD makes me so proud, and makes us all bonded for life. We all knew what went into that final day. No one else will ever understand. It's like no other.

Panorama easily stands up as one of the strongest clubs in Philadelphia. They put a particular focus on building a sense of community so that members feel comfortable pushing themselves among their fellow members. For me personally, I know most people think of Toastmasters as the public speaking group, and it definitely is that, but it is also about building leadership skills. I entered with a lot of comfort speaking on stage, and while I definitely have improved my public speaking skills, where I have to say I've grown leaps and bounds is in my leadership skills. I feel so much more confident in tackling projects even if I don't quite know how I'm going to succeed, I feel more up to the task of figuring it out. I have taken opportunities in other organizations I'm a part of that I probably wouldn't have felt up to if not for my experience in Toastmasters. It has definitely been a transformative experience.
