Good oars are hard to find in the market! This two-day workshop provides a hands-on introduction to the craft of oar making. Learn the value of balanced oars, various blade patterns, how to choose suitable wood, how to figure the right length of oars and how to make leather oar collars. Students will lay out and build their own pair of flat-blade oars. Learn how to sharpen and use drawknives, spokeshaves and hand planes and some good techniques for shaping and finishing wood. Take home one finished oar and one partly finished to work on after the class.

A creative neighborhood needs a place where you can get even more creative. In South Lake Union, that's SVC. They'll teach you how to master Photoshop, InDesign, and Flash, or take your graphic design, web design, and ad skills up a few notches. Most classes are taught at night by top working pros, but during the day, you can attend one-day workshops on general business topics such as project management, making presentations, and managing people.

One huge advantage of having the Cornish College of the Arts in the neighborhood is that there's a virtually endless list of free or low-cost dance, theatre, and music performances on tap throughout the school year. Many take place at the historic Raisbeck Performance Hall, the handsomely restored former Sons of Norway lodge built in 1915.

Between the Northwest Seaport, Center for Wooden Boats, and the Puget Sound Maritime Museum, there’s plenty of nautical history to take in at Lake Union’s south shore. The Museum has a small exhibit of historical photos and ship models, along with a gift shop at Chandler’s Cove.

After many years as a gallery director in Honolulu, Patricia Cameron moved to Seattle in 1998 and opened her South Lake Union gallery in 2005. Her Hawaii connections are still very much evident in the contemporary art she shows, as many of her artists bring an Asian influence to their work. This is not one of those galleries where you'll feel self-conscious walking in. Browsers and art lovers are always welcome.
