I've taken a number of classes at Gage and am so impressed by the caliber of the instruction. The…read moreinstructors seem genuinely interested in assisting students to improve their art, whatever their past art experience may have been, if any. I studied art at the university level and have found Gage classes to be far superior. And the new building is wonderful! Gage is not just an academy, but a community. Kudos to Director Kathleen Allen for her efforts in establishing Gage in its new location in the Westlake area, the heart of Seattle.

The instructors are all incredible, and provide such thoughtful teaching whether you're an advanced student or have never touched a paintbrush. I've been taking classes for years in capitol hill, and I'm excited to take more at the new location in south lake union. The art instruction you get here is unmatched, and its cool to see artists who have come out of Gage have their work in galleries and other professional establishments.

They are amazing people - I feel welcome and the teachers are outstanding!!!!…read more Thank you

I have taken several courses here including 2 8-week jewelry classes as well as an 8-week…read moremetalsmith class. What I love most about Pratt is the instructors are not only unbelievably strong technical instructors but also amazing artists. I didn't just want to learn how to MIG weld, I also wanted to learn about creating a composed sculpture. That's exactly what I learned in Bill Baber's class. Pratt's facilities are top notch! Highly recommended!

Had a great date night here making a ramen bowl in a class with a group of people. Class was about…read moretwelve individuals but the lone instructor did a great job of explaining and demonstrating how to make the bowl from clay. Instructor was also available for one-on-one attention if you had questions or needed extra assistance. Fun experience in a loft workspace above the downstairs art gallery. Very busy with other classes and individuals all working on their projects. Parking is on your own. If you know downtown Seattle, then be prepared to give yourself extra time to find on street parking or a lot that's not full. Use transit if you can!

They butcher your Date Night pieces after charging extra to fire them. Six of the bowls we made…read morewere "trimmed" so savagely they wouldn't even stand on a flat surface. The wheel instructions given were vague and we were largely left to fend for ourselves. We made the best of the night itself, but as artists they should know how this kind of careless post processing will disappoint people who attended in good faith.

I would totally take that glass if we were going to be staying here in the city few more days. The coolest thing is that they can make a custom made glass blown figurine of your dog from a photo. Once we adopt another pup, we will be ordering one of those.

The seats are comfortable and spaced well- especially when tall people (adults) look behind them to see who is seated behind them.

I wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn hands on otherwise. I found myself not knowing where to start, or if it's even any good when I tried to self teach (no one to give me feedback). I would recommend.

All to be laid off without warning over the summer due to "budget cuts" even though they just remodeled the school and hired on two new employees. less than a month before. The local management might as well just be a sounding board for the AUS management which could care less about you. There is zero support for the instructors. No IT staff, No subs on staff for callouts or sick days, software is out of date with no access to upgrade locally or provide alternatives, no one in upper management is working or even has worked within the industry they oversee, and zero respect for your experience. The owners are drunks, who just brag about themselves and are handing off the school to their kid. Oh and they are WOKE AF! Watch your back if you end up working here and have a backup plan. Oh and if you want to become a student here I got a bridge to sell ya. Don't! Yes you might get good instruction, make friends, etc... But you can find ALL of what they teach online for free if you just take the time to look. This industry is saturated with "academy's," "boot camps," "institutions," "university's," etc... who claim they can get you into a great job, but the reality is, you just need a great portfolio to get a great job. No one with a brain who is hiring will care to look at the piece of paper saying you can do a thing. The only time I have ever been asked about my degree in my art career was, ironically, when I became an instructor. Bottom line... Don't go for any "Art Degree!" Watch online tutorials, follow prominent artists, take specialized short term training programs, which are way cheaper (school of motion, FZD, lucidpixel, etc...).
