I went the first time with my daughter and we thoroughly enjoyed it…read more I enjoyed it so much that I went back the next day and they squeezed me in and I put out another painting which I love and everybody loves. If you do not have an artistic bone in your body it's a good place to start and it makes you feel like you can complete something in one sitting. The arts House Café right next-door serves gourmet food and wine as you're doing your class and it is so much fun. We are scheduled again this coming Friday. This time I'm bringing three of my daughters and several good friends are coming to join in on the fun.

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.

Her light and passion for expressive arts and healing is infectious. She has the ability to create and hold sacred safe space that is also uplifting. If you need help working through some blocks (personally or artistically) or if you simply want to manifest a piece of art, she is a great person to collaborate with. When I was looking for someone to create and hold a ritual for a transition period I was going through, she came through and and put together an incredibly beautiful and touching event, and included my loved ones in the process. I also worked with Mo again to manifest a vision I had for a painting. I am not much of a painter myself but I had an image that had come to me that I really wanted to have on canvass. Mo and I talked for a little while and she started painting my vision. It was amazing to watch it come to life in a way that was so much better than expected! I was blown away.

The Pratt Fine Arts Center offers a huge variety of art classes, from drawing to painting with…read moredifferent mediums to glass blowing and printing! I have taken two classes so far (drawing + oil painting) and I really love the small class sizes, the high quality of the chosen instructors and materials for the class. You can choose classes accordingly to your skill level, learn a TON and have lots of fun there. In my opinion, the classes are reasonably priced (but they could do a better job to include materials or tell people beforehand what amount to expect to buy all the things that are needed), well structured and you can get a real boost of creativity from it! The location is not too far from downtown, easily accessible by public transit or by car (they have a big parking lot, free to use!) and the atmosphere to work there is really great. I think the times of some of the classes could be better for people with full time jobs as not everybody can take a half day off to attend classes starting at 2pm.

What a wonderful new addition to the Issaquah art scene! The owner, Jason Liekhus, just started the…read morestudio earlier this spring. Jason received a degree in fine arts from the Academy of Art in San Francisco and has taught art to adults and teens for years. His training and experience shine through in his carefully constructed curriculum and thoughtful individual instruction on color theory, technique, and composition. Definitely check out his artwork in the gallery space in the entry area. I have been taking a weekly Adults & Teens class at Squak Art Studio for almost 3 months now and I highly recommend it. At 29, I had never done any kind of visual art and have always been convinced I was "bad at art." However, Jason's tremendous one-on-one attention and perfect balance of encouragement and constructive criticism put me right at ease. I'm so proud of the pieces that I've created in colored pencil, watercolor, and oil pastel. I look forward to painting my first acrylic once I finish my next project. Come join us for an art class! Each of us works on a personally tailored project at our own pace, so you can easily try out a class anytime. Jason's kindness, humility, and quirky sense of humor will put you at ease and keep you coming back.

NW Encaustics is an amazing little gem of a studio. It has…read morea fantastic set-up with all the tools, instruction, and house-made wax you'll need to learn this super fun medium. It's also affordable-more affordable than Pratt I believe. Also, the people who take classes there and teach are really fun. It's a laid back, relaxed, and welcoming atmosphere, which I really appreciate. Encaustic painting is easy to do, but there are some techniques that are really helpful to learn, and it's not a completely non-toxic art; the fumes need good ventilation. Also, you use blow-torches... so, having a studio to paint in is a necessity, especially for an apartment dweller like me!
