Squak Art Studio LLC offers weekly art classes in a variety of 2-D media, catering to most ages and all experience levels. The instructor is a kind, patient, and knowledgeable teacher with a great sense of humor and a flexible teaching style. He is experienced with many different types of art and breaks down challenging pieces into manageable, easy-to-understand steps.
The studio provides a casual and social environment where artists can discuss their work and share ideas. Classes have a small group setting where students work at tables, with all necessary materials supplied. The instructor gives clear one-on-one guidance and short lessons before leaving students to work, while remaining available for questions. This format helps people unwind and connect.
For children, seasonal art camps offer a great full-day space for creativity. The instructor keeps kids interested and on task, maintaining a peaceful and educational environment. He incorporates lessons about respect for other cultures and even teaches new words in different languages. Kids are also asked to do their own clean-up in a fun way. The studio is highly recommended for anyone wanting to grow their art skills in a supportive and professional setting.
Our daughter has attended summer camps here since it was back in Issaquah. We are willing to make the hour drive to bring her to the new studio because she has learned so much over the years. We are grateful to Tolt Art Studio for giving our reserved kid a comfortable place to try new things and expand her art toolbox.

Jason at Squak Art Studio is a fantastic teacher. Our two children have taken summer art classes there for the past two years, and we’ve been amazed at how much they’ve learned. Most importantly, they had a wonderful time while learning and creating.

Nice atmosphere. Teacher is very knowledgeable. Learned a lot. Place could be a tad bit more cleaner.
