We had a great experience at Neo Art School this summer…read more They were very prepared for Covid- making sure all kids had their own materials and any common materials were sanitized. Everyone wore masks. They had temperature checks upon arrival. The staff is professional and also warm. I felt my kids were well cared for and safe. They were well prepared to engage the kids- the girls had well organized, well thought out projects every day. Every week brought several different art projects and each week was unique in what was created; ranging from 3-D to painting to sculpture to drawing. My oldest daughter loves making art and literally happily worked on her projects all day. My younger daughter who hadn't expressed as much interest really found her creative voice and had a blast. The hours for working parents are great: 8 am - 6 pm. Strongly recommend this camp/program

Awesome little pop up shop in NE Seattle where kids and adults can get crafty!…read more Great kids classes for creative kids, first time in this location, but we enjoyed their classes before and its nice to see them in this new NE Seattle space. I particularly like their gift workshops where your child is engaged in multiple fun, creative art projects and comes home with terrific handmade presents for the holidays that are individually hand wrapped. In all seriousness, I don't know what was more impressive: the great art my kiddo produced, or the fact that she beautifully wrapped her own artwork/gifts. They have some really great ideas for kids classes that are simply not cookie cutter. The classes are effectively done: just in time for presents for the holidays. Not a soap carving, macaroni necklace or potholder in sight, these are actually some pretty unique, one of a kind treasures. I appreciate that they stretch the envelope of things that kids can make beyond the normal and routine --here kids can make a tile mosaic, a beautiful decopage bowl, or sugar skulls for Day of the Dead. Some pretty creative stuff. We've signed up for a lot of art classes, and are not fans of the "draw this" school of art instruction, but prefer a fun, truly creative class. This place importantly gets a thumbs up for fun from my little customer.

Great workshop where kids (probably best for 8 plus?) can legitimately make their own hand and…read morestick operated puppets that look just like the ones you used to watch on TV growing up. And by make them I mean design, select fabrics, sew, glue, the whole deal. And it ends up being something you'll actually want to keep around and they can use creatively going forward. What a neat class, I'm so glad we happened up on it as my 10 year old daughter loved it. I think this has really broad appeal as most of it is sort of inventing and tinkering, creating the puppet itself. A lot also went into teaching the kids how to actually control the puppets behind the curtains which isn't as easy as it seems. I can see this being appealing both to the typical drama kid who loves to be the center of attention (like mine) and also a creative shy kid, who has a message to convey but may not want to stand on stage in front of a large audience to deliver it. I learned that she does after school programs as well (unfortunately not at my school yet) so I hope to see her around with more programs in the Shoreline / North Seattle area, since I have 2 more kids who also need puppets someday! Highly recommend these classes for kids. Here is my 10 year old's review: Half-pint puppets was an amazing class. You have a wide variety of fabric so you can make almost any puppet you want. You do most of it, like cutting the foam to make the mouth and skull, cutting the body fabric, sewing together the body, putting on facial features, and a few other things. The instructor basically just tells you how to do the basics and finishes the puppet how you want it if is not done by the end of thursday. On friday, there is a fun puppet show. The puppet making is simple and easy, and you will probably (Mabey with a little guidance from a video) Be able to make your own puppets at home. A definite 5-star, i recomend this to everyone.

I would like to share my AWFUL experience with The Photographic Center Northwest. At the beginning…read moreof this quarter, I paid full tuition (Photography black and white: 700 $ ) I took my first class, and everything seemed to be ok before the teacher gave us the "BIG SURPRISE". Every student has to pay extra money for the lab; around 200 $. Even you've already paid 700$, BE READY TO PAY 200 DOLLARS MORE! The day after, I received more bad news when someone from SCCC sent me a email telling me that one of my classes was overlapping with this class. I went back to the Photography Center Northwest trying to speak with someone and figure out how to solve my problem. Because I really needed to take my other class for my degree. When I arrived there, the secretary told me that she couldn't do anything for me. She gave me the email of the coordinator and suggested me to email her to find a solution. (This happened the next day of the first day of class) I was sending her emails every day, but she only answered me at the end of the week. My nightmare with this school started at this point. I emailed asking her if I could change my class on Tuesdays to Mondays; I saw on the website that this class wasn't full on Mondays; but how lucky I was when suddenly she replied back to me saying the class was full. However, they couldn't transfer me, even if I already paid the full course. I asked her if I could go to Monday class, and asked if someone wanted to change their class with me, but she said it wasn't a good idea. I was very stupid because I didn't go there, and what I found later was that the class had a waiting list. (So people who didn't even pay was before me) Guess why? Because they keep the 50% of your tuition even if you cancel the next day. I can not understand this because by law students have the right to cancel within 30 days (at least ,that was what I read in Washington website) In addition, the darkroom has more than 15 enlargers, but the maximum of students is 10. I can not understand why they have so much enlargers, if the maximum number of students is 10. I went there the next week, trying to cancel my class; there wasn't anything I could do, but the girl behind the desk told me that maybe there was a solution: transfering my money to the next quarter, so I wont loose 350 dollars and I ll be able to go to class. This day was the last day to refund my money, if not, they would keep the full tuition,700 dollars for just one class! unbelievable! I asked her to speak with the coordinator and let me know if they could do it. I though it was a very good solution. I received the last answer for this school telling me how sorry they are, even though I have been waiting almost 1 month trying to solve the situation. But they didnt do anything for me. It seems the dont care about their students, the only care about your money! I won't recommend this school ever! They charged my 350 dollar for just one class! Watch your backs with them!

took a pottery class ("sip n spin") here under the instruction of Bryan / Brian . really great…read more2-hour class from 1800 to 2000, or 6 to 8PM. the instructor showed us the basics and fundamentals of clay-making as illustrated on a whiteboard and then demonstrated before us. you could easily see the expertise and calmness that just took over. really cool to see. instructor never made us feel bad about messing up and was there to help us out as needed. he would encourage that u do the hands-on portion before he would intervene to ensure that you really learn and get down that muscle memory. we were able to spin 3 times total, but we could only pick one to glaze and then take home after about a week of that process. so, it is not carried out all within one day. they email you when it is ready for pick-up because I do not think that they ship it to u. they hold each piece made in this studio for over a year, so no rush to get it. just remember to come back there! the colors that they have u chose from to glaze has only 5ish options. not much, but they have the nature-like colors and shades of blue, green, black, beige, and brown. when the class was going on during the Wednesday evening, other guests in the facility maintained a respectful silence so that we could hear the instruction class. the class was like $70ish, I think? Pretty worth it if it is your first time to do pottery, like me! sometimes, the door will say that it is closed, but that is not true. Staff just forgets to change it lol
