“Really interesting place! They have pieces for sale, some that are in a permanent collection, and classes available if you wanted to take one. Super friendly girl at the front. It was very well organized which is good for a place filled with glass on display. Making it easy to navigate without fear of hitting anything. You can also sit and watch them work in the 'hot shop' for as long as you'd like. If you want to buy pieces they are extremely expensive, however the artistry is outstanding.”
“Got the last bit of my chest piece finished yesterday and after the whole experience, I had a great time! The atmosphere is so calm and so chill, everyone in the shop is incredibly nice.
All the artist's spaces are clean while also being decorated to their unique tastes (great to look around at when you're on a table for a few hours, lol)!
Seth was the artist for my piece and he was awesome! He was quick and responsive in every conversation, and willing to work with me and adjust to make sure the whole thing came together in a way I loved. It's been a dream piece for like 7 years, and he did a killer job!!
Overall, great experience and I'd love to get more done there—True Love is my go to!”
“Very neat store to browse! Plenty of artist made knick knacks, pins, buttons, and printed shirts. The curators are very personable and will give you introductions based on artist you are viewing. Would recommend a visit.
The only negative thing was not necessary pointed at the shop, but the mall it was located in. You can tell post-covid that the Pacific place mall and the surrounding area is struggling to keep up with inflation and rent. Plenty of closed shops and not enough thriving businesses. We found paid parking at garage belonging to the mall on 6th Avenue.”
“Wedding for our daughter. The space worked very well for our 130 guests. This area of Seattle has been cleaned up ( thanks to the new mayor) but still not like a winery wedding. Some homeless yelling at people walking past. The ally was rented but not used. The lighting and tables were not inviting out there.All in all a good setting for our family to celebrate!”

17311 135th Ave NE Suite C-400, Woodinville“I found this place during a trip to Woodinsville, and was thrilled to find how many good quality art supplies they carry! As an adjunct to a small art gallery, I expected there to be a few brushes and markers, maybe some sketchbooks - but they have a great variety of watercolor paints, as well as other paints and dry media.
The woman who helped me and my husband was really knowledgeable and nice, and helped me decide what to buy (I'm an acrylic painter, new to watercolor) - a bonus, since I prefer spending my money at a small business rather than a big corporate craft store. I really enjoyed my visit there and will be sure to visit and shop again.”

4548 University Way NE, Seattle“Super cool spot! I found an awesome framed vintage Pearl Jam concert poster from a local show in the late 90s as a gift for my partner. Great communication and customer service, and free parking nearby which was a huge plus considering the location. Highly recommend!”
“This beautiful Black &diasporic artistic, and restorative healing community! Such great work to preserve cultural archives and their ongoing advocacy for equitable development land and home ownership. Check it all out! So grateful for all the wonderful events, talks and exhibits, and the enormous love and effort put into preserving this family home and truly, bestowing generational blessings. We loved this last year’s Walk the Block, and the recent screening of Simon Benjamin’s A Bolt from the Blue!”
“Went for an intimate local show with Tobias theOwl in this beautiful gallery. Owner is warm and welcoming and I will definitely be back!(It's also 4 buildings down from my favorite tapas place-added bonus) The art was a variety of 50 artists over 50 and I loved pieces from each artist I saw! Gorgeous backdrop for music <3 Thank you for sharing your space with local artists! ?”
“Apex has done an incredible job with all of my clients. They can look at a peice of art and know exactly the frame style it needs. They take care of arranging and installing art perfectly. My clients are always thrilled.”
“Equinox Studio had an Open House for Xmas presents. I enjoyed seeing the numerous Artists, Metal works, Iron Art for Burning Man. I saw Nobi and The Force perform too. They were at the Summer Open House too. There are more Artists here than in Pioneer Sqr's Artwalk here in Georgetown. They got some crowds but more people go to Pioneer Sqr monthly. There were a few Food Teucks there. They had two Bonfires. But at least it was not rainy hard to watch the Live Entertainment.”

1003 1st Ave, Seattle“Really cool artwork! Interesting perspective. The artist is a super awesome guy and helped my boyfriend and i get custom hoodies with his artwork on them! He was even able to ship them to our house!”
“It's an erotic art gallery. I haven't been in too many but the folks here were really nice, and the art was interesting even when it wasn't a swipe right for me.”
“A Seattle institution, founded in 1976, and located in a charmer of a brick and mortar in the historic Georgetown neighborhood, sharing opposite sides of a space with Georgetown Records, Fantagraphics is a great place to visit! Full of art,history and just plain fun publications, readers of all ages will find something cool.”
“We hosted a birthday party for my child recently and were extremely pleased with the service we experienced and the quality of the resulting pottery. The kids (and adults) really enjoyed the party.
We have made many pieces at other pottery-painting studios, and were shocked by how much nicer the items we painted at Emerald City Fired Arts turned out; the quality difference was notable. Highly recommended!”
“Fabulous anchor gallery to the Pioneer Square art district. One of my favorite art spaces in the city with a fabulous roster of artists. Phen and her team are very warm and knowledgable.”
“Lots of cool little things in this shop. Pricy, but great quality. The woman who has rung me out a few different times has always been really sweet. I also like that they sell Blackwing pencils individually. Everywhere else sells Blackwings in expensive packs.”

130 Park Ln, Kirkland“Parklane has some beautiful and interesting art. Uniques pieces. We bought some handmade jewelry, that is unique and one of a kind. Not overly priced. Right in the middle of the action in Kirkland.”
“My niece hosted her 30th B-day here. Nice place, The art there was good but unfortunately not in my price range. Great place to have a party at and thank goodness they have 2 bathrooms.”
“Really great exhibit with kindergartners drawings imagined into clay by high schoolers. The lady working was a real gem, good natured and we all left with positive vibes.”

“Visited to look for a friend's birthday present. The Japanese staff responded politely. They also wrapped the items I purchased. They have a lot of Japanese items with good taste, and it's within walking distance from Uwajimaya, so I'll come back regularly.”
“What a lovely store! It is warm and welcoming and the selection and variety are unmatched on the Eastside. Prices are fair and service is outstanding. Svetalana helped us with a few framing projects also. It feels good to support local, small businesses!”
