I drive to the Schack Art Center once a year for their Fresh Paint art festival, but my favorites…read moreare almost always inside the art center itself. This year, their summer art events are "Art of the Garden" at the main gallery and "Cambium Layers II" at the mezzanine gallery. They have events throughout the year, rotating in special exhibits, classes, summer camps, and more. I chatted with the staff working there, and they are always very personable. While the Fresh Paint art festival is relatively modest with the length of two city blocks, the exhibit inside the center makes the drive worthwhile. If I was more of an art creator, I would definitely look into their classes. They have an impressive array from ceramics and clay to digital to glass, and classics like painting, sculpture, and woodcarving. The facility looks new and is very clean. I would recommend them both to shop for art (at front gift shop or during an exhibit period) and for their classes.

I wanted to come back and update my review now that we've picked up our finished pieces. We're…read moreseriously so happy with how everything turned out! The full process took about 3 weeks total. Our pottery class was on March 29th, we came back to paint on April 12th, and then picked everything up on April 17th. It honestly felt like such a fun extended experience getting to come back and see everything through. The painting portion was super enjoyable too. They offer a variety of glazes, some classic colors included at no extra cost, plus a few specialty options for a small fee. My fiancé chose the "Safari" glaze (just $1 extra), which had these cool glass pieces that melt in the kiln and create such a unique pattern. Definitely worth trying if you want something a little different! Pickup was easy overall. My only small suggestion would be to clarify the pickup hours on the card that's handed out after painting. Google hours seem to reflect member hours, while the hours posted on the door are different. When I arrived, they technically weren't open yet (my mistake, I'm sorry!), but the person at the front desk was super kind and still helped me find my pieces, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, such a great experience from start to finish. Thank you so much Creative Hands Studio, we'll definitely be back!

I started my Taekwondo journey in ITF. I've practiced martial arts for years, especially Taekwondo,…read morebut I never earned my black belt. I was a competitor, and that was my focus. I trained to compete, not to earn belts. As I've gotten older, I'm not old enough to complain, but let's just say I know my body a lot better now. I always thought I knew a lot about Taekwondo because of how long I had trained, but my journey has taught me how much there is still to learn. My first major change came with Master J of Tiger J Kim in Houston. (Non Kukkiwon school) I have tremendous respect for him. He helped me transition from ITF to WT and, more importantly, helped me get my life together. Here is where I also restarted my belts. He used Taekwondo as a platform to change lives. He would tell me to show up, train, and then talk to me like a mentor while reinforcing the principles and tenets of martial arts. He talked to me like a kid sometimes, but honestly, it was something I desperately needed at the time. Because of him, I developed a completely different approach to martial arts, became happier, and even grew closer to my faith, despite that never being his intention. I never earned my black belt under Master J due to military order, but looking back, I believe God had better plans. After nine months of military training, I moved from Houston to Everett and wanted to get back into Taekwondo. I had already started my transition from ITF to WT with Master J, so I wanted to continue learning WT. I stumbled across Y.S. Lee Taekwondo without doing much research, something just felt right. I have no regrets about contacting this school. Master Lee has shown me just how much I didn't know. I've trained at enough schools to develop a good sense of what makes a school genuine. I've seen schools become too profit-driven, and I've seen others that feel more like short term daycare or simply focus on teaching techniques and moving students through belts. I believe that if you do what is right and genuinely focus on helping people, everything else follows. Master Lee seems to understand that better than any instructor I've encountered and share the same philosophical approach, some in which came from when I was under Master J. Other masters may show you how to do something and hand out belts. Master Lee goes further and DEMONSTRATES the why and makes sure the students are ready to move up. He has opened my eyes to the history, reasons, deeper philosophy, and tradition behind TKD and the form movements. It's so much more than a performance or learning how to kick/punch. Master Lee taught me that there are centuries of tradition, discipline, and study behind day to day practice. I always ask questions outside of the class when I didn't understand or I wanted to challenge my understanding. Master Lee encourages it more than any Master I've seen. He encourages questions, builds on curiosity, and doesn't just demonstrate what I know. He demonstrates what I don't understand. That is the difference! Like Master J, he sees Taekwondo as a way of life and a tool for improving the person, not just the martial artist. I believe when you teach this way, Self-defense becomes a byproduct of that process and it truly does, but you must put in the work for your studies. I'm now working toward the black belt I never got when I was younger, and I'm grateful that I didn't because now I have the opportunity to pursue it under through a Kukkiwon-recognized school with YS Lee. I have lots of respect for Master J for helping me on this path, and I'm equally grateful that life brought me here to continue it. If you're looking for someone who will simply teach you how to kick, punch, do forms, earn belts, there are plenty of options. If you want an instructor who will challenge what you think you know, teach the history and philosophy behind TKD, encourage your questions, and help you become a better martial artist and person, I highly recommend Master Lee and Y.S. Lee Taekwondo. My very long (lost count after 5 years) black belt journey brought me here.

We were signed up for a pottery class through a third party website which didn't have good contact…read moreinfo for us i guess, because when we went in there at our time slot they said the instructor we had, was out sick, but they were unable to contact us! Megan, who was the gal leading a glass art class there at the time and helping us, offered for us to come to the pottery class that was scheduled in a little over an hour from then. We said sure! She was so nice that she even offered for us to join the glass art class free of charge for the inconvenience! Megan was the Instructor for both the glass art and pottery classes we were a part of. She was very knowledgeable, always eager to offer help and suggestions, and very friendly. Me and my friend had a lot of fun making the glass art that we would not have originally done with out her kindness. The pottery class was very good as well, and she was a great instructor for that too. Me and my friend are both looking forward to how are pieces turn out! Highly recommend signing up for a class here and expressing your creativity!

The teacher, Ms. Nikki, is truly phenomenal and has a special gift for connecting with kids and helping them believe in their own creativity the studio is warm, welcoming, and safe, and kids are encouraged to be themselves, try new things, and make bold creative choices without fear of "messing up." Class sizes are small, so our daughter gets plenty of individual attention and guidance while still enjoying a fun group atmosphere with other young artists. She comes home after each class proud of what she's created, using real art materials and techniques that make her feel like a "real artist." Over time, we've watched her confidence grow right along with her skills, from learning new mediums to experimenting with color, shading, and detail in ways she never would have tried on her own. She looks forward to every class, and we love seeing how much joy and calm art brings her at the start of a busy week. If you're looking for a place where your child can feel supported, inspired, and genuinely seen, I would highly recommend Art Spot Studio and Ms. Nikki.
