Welcome to Continuing Education! Breaking the Ice Since 1970 How often have we huddled up and debated the existence of the “Seattle Freeze?” Are locals really that chilly to new arrivals in the community? Do we give them the cold shoulder? Perhaps you have brushed up against it yourself though you consider yourself a longtime resident. There’s a surefire way to ward off that chill: register for a Continuing Education class this winter and discover ways to create, discuss, explore or exercise in the company of like-minded people. Warm up to new ideas with Continuing Education.

The subject was perfectly presented with great in-class examples and explanations. Our assignments were inspiring and practical, using principles learned in class . – Theresa S. on Color Interactions: Theory and Practice with Peg McNair
