The tags, my task, were just good fun. Lots of room to be creative and simple to complete without assistance. The passport covers were another story. The other 2 needed assistance a lot, especially during the stitching, which took quite a bit of time and was a tad hard on their hands. The employees were more than willing to provide the assistance they needed though. There were definitely a couple other crafts I would've enjoyed trying. Fabulous concept, pleasant employees, and a cool way to spend a few hours...especially for those of us very much out of our comfort zone.

I am a beginning oil painter and have learned so much in his classes. No need to be self-conscious about whatever level you may be in your painting. There have been beginners like me and people who have attended art school. His teaching style is relaxed, friendly and very supportive. He gives excellent examples, he demonstrates by painting and explaining clearly why he is applying paint in the way that he does. He really meets each student at whatever level they might be. The plein air class was fantastic. On Saturday we painted in Laurelhurst Park and on Sunday we painted at Mt Tabor. I highly recommend taking classes at High Low Art Space!

The…read moreclasses are fun and illuminating; you get a lot of individualized feedback because the teacher circles the class and checks in at each turn, so it's really tailored to you no matter your level. As a model, I've had the pleasure of seeing how other classes and groups work, and each time I'm floored by the professionalism, respect, and skill. I seriously can't recommend High Low enough, y'all! You'll be so dang glad you signed up.

Very disappointing experience. Only a few instructors knew what they were teaching and even then…read morewere NOT great educators. Management was god awful. Attended for two years with mostly Ds and a 2.3 GPA before I had enough and switched to UofO despite my advisor insisting it would be more difficult. Got a 3.6 GPA my first term at UofO, and funnily enough, it was cheaper to attend despite my grants and scholarships for PNCA. Other places are better. PNCA is a good idea if you want to pretend you were held back and want to attend a disjointed summer school. Thats the vibes of this establishment. God awful. I'm sure it was once great before it was bought out by willamette but now? save yourself the money and poor GPA and just go somewhere else.

this school gave me no education. one of my required classes was a foraging class where we foraged…read morenatural plants to make into paint. i paid thousands of dollars for it and we only ever met in person every two weeks to basically bullshit about nothing. i learned nothing. another required class we had was to make costumes out of cardboard. thousands of dollars. on cardboard costumes. it felt like i was in pre-k most of the time. none of my actual drawing classes taught me anything, and when covid hit they let us take a 'Pass' in our classes if we didnt want to attend the online course. which means i basically paid to pass a class but not actually earn the grade. we also had to pay for facility fees, etc. even though we were online! theres a reason why the dropout rate is so high. there was an incident where a gun was fired from outside into the dorm windows, and students get assaulted often near the school. the school is in a horrible, horrible part of town. none of the professors stay for long. the acceptance rate is ridiculously high because of how high the dropout rate is, so most of the students (esp illustration) are....not high standard. financial aid doesnt give a fuck about helping you, and the department head never cared about helping me with my schedule or anything else. students and professors say slurs and nobody cares. the school advertises that theyll help you get jobs after you graduate but the job website was never updated and only had about 6 outdated postings. this school is my hellhole and im in so much debt and learned. absolutely. nothing. if you actually care about an art degree go somewhere else.

After receiving the detailed information on the class this won't work for me and they are refusing to refund my money. Literally, two days later and no service has been provided (the class doesn't start for weeks). I was told it's part of their terms. When I reminded her I have never been provided her terms, not did I make any agreement to them, she emailed me a copy of the terms. I would not do business with any school this shady. You can even cancel at state schools and colleges if you do it within the timeframe (which they provide upfront).

I had the most amazing experience recently at this studio. Beth Ann is a wonderful art therapist,…read moreshe is very relaxed and carries with her an air of calm and creativity. I was very impressed the class started with meditation and breathing exercises, then a brief tour of the studio and short explanation of how to begin our own personal process. I love the piece I made: it is nothing like what I usually do, but through talking a bit during class about personal situations, I was able to let some things go and it really shows in my work. I will definitely be returning. Just being in that environment is calming and very welcoming. even if you're not an artist, I would highly recommend giving one of these classes a try.
