Testimonials
"If someone was considering taking The Artist's Way class, I would tell them don’t wait! Sign up today!! Also that the class can really be whatever they want to make of it. I would say to take pressure off of themselves and enjoy the opportunity to explore what creativity in their life could look like. You will meet wonderful, fun people who will support you in your own journey, at your own pace. There is no expectation or pressure for you to perform any particular way- it’s really about bringing more joy and flow into your life." -Beth A., Artist's Way ZOOM (online) Alum Winter 2020
"I hoped to come away from this class with increased clarity of both how to listen to the inner voice of guidance, and also what direction to move in career-wise. I feel content having grown in both of these areas through the course!" - Winter 2020 ZOOM Artist's Way Class Alum
"The
Artist's Way class is not just for artists. It's for anyone who needs that
little nudge to think outside the box. It provides unparalleled insight into
oneself and one's craft." - Jen K. Artist's Way Student 2016
"This class was a great, life-changing experience and opened up my creative life - I feel
that I am living in a more free, meaningful and creative way because of it. I
would highly recommend the class." - Jan, Artist's Way Student 2014

The Artist's Way for Alumni - (of the Seattle Artist's Way Center) - Open for Registration for Fall Quarter 2021
We're excited to announce the return of our ALUMNI Artist's Way ZOOM (online) Class for students who have attended the 12 week Artist's Way Class through The Seattle Artist's Way Center!
Students participating in this Fall Quarter 2021 90 minute weekly online Zoom class will get the opportunity to go deeper with their creative practice and their understanding and use of The Artist's Way tools. The 12 week class will take students through the 12 chapters in The Artist's Way but with a specific focus on the key concepts. Students will also be guided to utilize the idea of baby steps to move forward on their specific goals and creative ideas (whatever those are and they could change week to week!). Students will also have an individual 1 on 1 Zoom 30 minute meeting with Kate prior to the first class to share about their creative process and to explore their goals and/or hopes for the class. Kate will also offer a closing one on one 30 minute Zoom chat with each student to review their experience and hopes for the future.
To quote Julia at the end of Chapter 12: "Reread this book. Share it with a friend. Remember that the miracle is one artist sharing with another." Here's our opportunity to do just that!
