We have been to 2 painting classes put on by Alley Cat Art Studio inside Studio 117 in Castle Rock…read more What great Fun! Megan does a great job instructing everyone and Jeff is great at supplying everyone's painting needs - brushes, paint, clean water, etc. Great venue for a girls' night out or even a date night! Everyone paints the same painting but you have the creative freedom to change it up however you like. Kids 10 and under can paint for 1/2 price on a smaller canvas too. I highly recommend this evening of fun for any artistic skill level!

2nd visit ... walked in both times and got an appointment. I did call ahead today because I had a…read moremess of a rats nest from sleeping with it in a bun. Never do that!! They're gonna try to detangle it, however ... I think its a lost cause. Its so brittle and as hard as Kate and I tried to undo the mess, it just kept getting worse. Wish we had a beauty college at the Beach ... in the meantime, I'm glad Longview has one, they are usually fast and efficient. They seem to cater to Seniors and caregivers, their attitude towards them was great. And the people just keep coming

I've been to ArtHouse Mosaic Studio twice -…read more 1) to learn mosaic skills under Nancy's tutelage 2) as the sign language interpreter for a group of 6 deaf women, with Malika as their instructor. Both times, I was impressed with how relaxing it is to be around these women, something I feel certain is of benefit to those attempting the creative process. The way that Malika handled the 7 of us! - with multiple conversations going on simultaneously, arms flying everywhere - was spectacular. She was focused, patient, and gave flawless design suggestions for those who asked for them. One of the women took a really long time to decide what her project would be, changing her mind several times. This, and the fact that the women had to stop their work every time they spoke to the instructor or to one of their friends - caused our class to go quite a bit overtime. Again, Malika was graciousness incarnate. I've heard wonderful things about the 3rd business partner, Sherri. I'm sure she's a delight, as well. Next time you're looking to give an unusual gift or would like to exercise your creativity, give them a call!

I had wonderful teachers for the retreat. I stayed in a yurt -- it was very peaceful, clean and spacious. The yurts did not have bathrooms near them, but I didn't mind that. For those with physical disabilities, there are rooms with bathrooms in the building.

What a better place to have a silent meditation retreat than here at Cloud Mountain. Literally,…read morethis facility is located it what appears to be a natural forest with hidden walkways, meditation hall nestled in the forest, and simple housing scattered about. The accomodations are simple, cozy and clean. Not only do you have a beautiful scenery, but you will also find wild deer, racoons and other critters among the grounds. I will definitely be back for silence in the forest! Aside from the accomodations, I also found the staff, shared chores and variety meditation retreats to be wonderful. Not too far from Seattle --- about 1.5hrs away, not too bad for silence!
