    Carnelian pendant I made for my wife at Danaca
    Ken W.

    Before I was a Navy officer and an accountant, what I really wanted to do after high school was to be a metal and stone artist. I got drafted instead. With great trepidation I joined a jewelry making class last Fall at Danaca design with people old enough to be my children and grandchildren. With skills from high school art class in the early 1960s I figured this was a lost cause and I would flunk out. Instead, it was a wonderful experience and I actually made a few pieces good enough to be in the holiday show. Now I am going back for the mentored study classes and having a great time and making many art friends, something I have missed in the military and business world.

    I made this pee wee Herman piece. It wasn't quite up to snuff, but, it was fun to do and I can't wait to do another!

    Took a class with Cynthia Toops, micro mosaics and it was honestly one of the best classes I've ever taken. The price was very reasonable, the teacher amazingly generous with her talent and time. I hope to take many more classes there. And the facility was great! It was comfortable and very well equipped!!

    I'll start off by sharing a positive experience I had at The Studio Seattle, which was getting to…read morelearn from Hailey Henderson. Hailey is as excellent of an instructor as she is an actor. She clearly loves teaching and is incredibly knowledgeable about acting theory and applications. Hailey has high expectations for her learners and is also deeply compassionate, a perfect combination for creating an effective learning environment. I am immensely grateful to have been able to learn with her. Hailey is the primary instructor for The Studio Seattle, whereas Andrew Tsao is the artistic director and founder. Andrew was going to cover the last several weeks of classes in my Acting Foundations 2 class series, and prior to this he co-taught a class with Hailey. In this class, Andrew had us participate in exercises where we would be improvising interactions with a scene partner. These scenes were meant to be highly realistic- we were playing ourselves and had similar relationships to each other as we do in real life. Our objectives and given circumstances were given to us individually, without our scene partner's (or the class's) knowledge. In one scene, Andrew had one of our male classmates play the role of a sexual predator towards not one, but two of our classmates. When his scene partner responded to his unwanted advances authentically, by attempting to distract the perpetrator and leave, Andrew told her that she was responding incorrectly and that should/would in fact "fight". He also told her that her "avoidance" would be a hindrance to her as an actor. In another scene, part of the given circumstances was that one of my classmates had had an abortion. I followed up with Andrew expressing my concern that not one, but two extremely sensitive topics, particularly for women, were chosen for these exercises. I stated that that the nature of the exercises required us to be ourselves, thereby increasing the level of sensitivity and creating a high potentiality for trauma/re-traumatization. I acknowledged that while actors do work with difficult content, we get to choose and consent to this, which was not an option in this situation (since we did not know our scene partner's backgrounds or objectives). I stated my expectation that content will be more thoughtfully chosen for these exercises moving forward and that learners be made more fully aware of their options. Andrew's initial response acknowledged that he could have been more thoughtful in ensuring everyone was aware that they could opt out of the exercises. He did not address my concerns over the nature of the content itself, other than implying that more experienced actors would have been fine with the content (I have since heard from multiple other acting instructors that this is not at all the case). I responded by saying that I appreciated his effort to improve transparency around opting out of exercises moving forward. I again stated my concern over the content itself, particularly as it relates to women, and expressed skepticism that more experienced actors would have been fine with the content. Overall, I felt like my concerns were dismissed. Andrew responded by disinviting me to continue attending classes at The Studio Seattle. Based on my experience, I'm of the opinion that Andrew Tsao is not interested in feedback as it relates to the safety of his students, particularly women. For this reason, I would caution any woman/female person against taking classes at The Studio Seattle.

Alana's deep understanding of theory and process offers the groundwork to feel comfortable and prepared for the deeper work in Foundations 2, while Aaron has a magical way of balancing thoughtful and respectful lessons with a humility and irreverence that creates a joyful space to learn and try new things. Thank you, Andrew for creating a welcoming, enriching, and intensive space in Seattle.

He went the extra mile, heck, the extra 10 miles to get my front brake fixed. It was 1/3 the cost of the estimate I was given at a nearby shop that couldn't even handle the job for a month out. Charles took care of it while I waited. Lots of customers came and went while I waited and I witnessed him treat every customer with courtesy and respect. For my front brake, Charles had to re-thread 2 parts so they would fit together again! He had a really handy re-thread file tool which I've never seen or heard of. He told a few stories while I waited and he worked. He gave me a tip on where to go to see salmon running and seals feeding (and possibly orcas waiting at the mouth of the inlet to feed on the seals #PBSlive). AND I learned a lot about the bike I've owned since 2008 that I never knew before. Besides being personable, efficient, respectful, and informative, Charles is a Master. I highly recommend this guy for your bike stuff.

She has this contagious energy which will make you forget about how your day has been and fill you with positive energy. From beginning level of Bollywood dances to more professional, she will not disappoint you! I had first seen Geeta perform with her troup two years ago with a different group. Her performance was creative, absorbing and beautiful!! When my husband and I decided to perform a bollywood number for our wedding, we knew exactly who to ask for help. Yes, she does private classes too :) and the best part is part of the money goes to charity! I gave her a very short notice with my song and time. I literally called her in the afternoon for a session that very night. Its amazing how she came up with a routine in a matter of hours with a perfect plan for my husband and me. Everybody absolutely loved our performance and energy that went into it!!! For anybody who wants to try something new or for the love of dance, you have a perfect studio and a teacher with Afsaana dance. Not only is she patient, but is very organized with her routines, steps and pace! I highly recommend it for a good time, workout and fun atmosphere.
