This is where your home is. This branch of Wing Chun is designed to be so emphasized in proper technique, proper power generation, …

A Creative Crucible to energize the Media Arts. Hi all! My name is A. James and I am photographer here in Seattle. I own Market Studios here in beautiful Ballard and want to utilize my space to create an epicenter for creative progression, development, and advancement in the media arts.

Telling your own stories from your own life or yarns woven from the spirit moving in the moment.

It is how we shake off the turmoil of daily life an …

We are women who do arts and crafts. Some of us are professionals, some have Etsy stores or market online, and some of us just want to get together, make things and have a good time. We talk, do show and tell, and sometimes lead each other in closed workshops.

This group is devoted to helping you find joy in creativity in spite of the many common blocks that get in the way--perfectionism, the inner critic, fears, feeling overwhelmed, not having the time and energy, and more. While we might do our work solo, we all benefit from the power of community. Join us …

We're an autonomous collective of like-minded young (at heart) people who share a love of the arts and the creative process in general. I started this group because there are tons of us in this city, but for some reason, we all seem to be scattered or otherwise barred from connecting with one another in a meaningful way. So, I figured that even the littlest excuse can help bridge that gap. To read a makeshift manifesto for the group, click here: http://www.meetup.com/Twenty-Something-Artists-Wr …

My goals are to fold, share, talk, eat and fold again.

The renaissance is here, and it brought ice-cream! So, here’s the idea: Ideas. Unfiltered, unencumbered, and unapologetically enthusiastic ideas. Ideas that lead to grease-smeared hands, lavender sorbet, things that go bang, clouds of steam, those goggle-marks you see on crazy chemistry geeks, and some guy (or girl) in the background juggling and swinging from a trapeze. We are a collective of intellectual eccentrics, passionate about learning and our various (and yes, I mean various) arts. Wal …

A truly successful fashion editorial stays relevant long after trends change. It remains a piece of art, a cultural record of a given time, a document of emotion, dreams, values, social commentary, and beauty. Seattle Fashion Photography members collaborate to create art through the editorial and fashion photography. However, a photo is useless if it remains unseen. That’s why along with creating breathtaking photography we provide a means for every member to network, develop a portfolio, bui …

This meetup is like a cross between a pool team and a social club.  It's for people that are part tiger/part shark. We're tigers in the sense that we have hobbies and interests other than just pool and to those we consider ourselves a tiger. That includes maybe music, art, sports, photography, or whatever else your thing is. As long as it's not offensive then this is a welcoming atmosphere.  We're sharks in the sense that we are sharky at pool.  So, what it all boils down to is this: For anyone …
