All materials were included, she explained every step well. There are so many personalized touches she adds to your experience, from the cute premade sundae toppings, the one on one assistance, the small class size, the packaging for take home, and the adorable tags to put on your candle with the name of the scent and who made it. The ice cream sundaes we made were so cute and they SMELLED AMAZING! Blooming Candle uses soy based candles, which burn clean! They have a good variety of scents to choose from. You also get to take your candle home same day!! This experience is so worth every penny! Thank you Para for making my daughter's birthday so special!!

" RDC team- i just wanted to drop a quick note to say that this years' recital was truly so so special. i volunteered backstage last year so this was my first experience in the audience. my own daughter danced only twice, near the end (i exploded inside), even still i was all but weeping the entire show. the energy that everyone brought was beyond beautiful. the joy was palpable, & it was very apparent that everybody on that stage was truly in their magic, from the teachers to students. which, as a patron, was to say the very least, is uplifting & impressive. as the mother of a dancer who is quite dedicated & passionate about the art, it was exciting & encouraging witnessing the progression through classes, & hear the graduates' testimonials. i was blown away at the level of dedicated production you brought to the entire event. 'sign of the times' had me so emotional. you deserve all your flowers!"

She followed directions and those teachers making it fun. Classes aren't big in number of kids so it really feels like a private lesson.

Also their recital costumes are to die for... seriously super cute in every way

Took the "Sip and Spin" introductory pottery class. I really looked forward to it but was pretty…read moredisappointed. As the class progressed, it was pretty obvious that I needed some help but either the kind of hands-on help I needed wasn't part of the program or the instructor didn't "get it." After trying 4 different balls of clay over the course of an hour or so, I was very frustrated at not being able to get very far in the process with any of them. I tried to get help from the instructor but he seemed more interested in other people and seemed to think that saying how to work with the clay was all that was necessary. On top of the frustration on the creative side, the class was instructed on how dismantle and wash/clean the wheel and other equipment we had been using (and that had, I think, been used for an earlier class). Not a good experience for which the cost was $100.

I really can't say enough good things about the Seattle Artist League. I have an art degree, and…read moreI'm not exaggerating when I say I've gotten more out of my time at the League than I did during my undergraduate art education. I've taken painting classes with Jordan Horton, Erin Milez, Lendy, and a critique workshop with Ruthie V., and every class has changed the way I make and think about art. The instructors are thoughtful, generous, incredibly knowledgeable, and (maybe most importantly) really know how to help you grow without making you feel like there's one "right" way to be an artist. The critique workshop has been life-changing, I recommend it for everyone. I used to DREAD art critiques in college. They often felt negative and intimidating, and I came away from them feeling worse about my work rather than more curious about it. Ruthie completely changed that. I finally feel like I have the tools to actually look at art and talk about what I'm seeing, respond thoughtfully, and then understand why something is working, or why it isn't. And that hasn't just changed my own artwork. I now enjoy going to galleries, museums and looking at art more than I ever did before. I notice more. I'm more curious. I now have a vocabulary for things I could feel but didn't know how to articulate. I've learned A LOT during my time here, I've taken more risks in my art and I've fallen in love with making and looking at art again and it's the best feeling. If you're thinking about taking a class (or two!) at the Seattle Artist League, do it. Doesn't matter if you're a beginner or have been making art for years, there is SO MUCH to get out of this place.
