ou deserve a play date...or two...all in a beautiful, relaxing, supportive space.
We've wrapped up yet another great program year and in the midst of our annual Winter Break! Thank you, friends, for your participation and support of all that 2012 offered. We get to meet and play with the MOST AMAZING people. So, take this season for YOU, in celebration...wind down, clear, relax, nest, snuggle, and take deep breaths to release the busy-ness of summer and fall. Here are ten great ways to find gratitude and unwind as we celebrate thanks for each other and honor our creative selves.
(In partnership with the Seattle Photography Club).

It was a competitive, juried application process so we are extremely proud to have been selected to the 2012-2013 program roster of Storefronts Seattle as a "Creative Enterprise," bringing a blend of our creative arts learning activities and philanthropic “Mark Art. Do Good” programs. Here’s how it works: if/when the Storefronts team discovers a vacant retail space that fits our needs, we will investigate placement and, if it’s a fit, move in for a period of 3-6 months. And YOU will get to come play in the new space.
Let's go bowling! Join us Seattle as Lori marks her five year "cancerversary" (or treatment anniversary) with a celebration of life, call to action in remembrance of friends and family, and fundraising event for cervical cancer support and education.

Attention all new and budding photographers! Do you have a new DSLR camera and need help understanding it? Confused by terms like aperture priority, focal length, and The Rule of Thirds? Want to know once and for all what the ISO setting means? Join instructor Lori Stone for a fun, late afternoon shoot covering the basics. We'll discuss photographic exposure priority (aperture and shutter), composition, and much more. The class will take place from 5:00pm-6:00pm...hang out later and shoot until sunset (at 7:30pm). Meet at the salmon slide!
