Blueschool Backstory
Once upon a time, there was an artist (ok, I won't be coy: me, Karin Bolstad, Headmistress of Blueschool ;-) ) who tired of working in a vacuum (well, it WAS dark and dusty, with quite a bit of dog hair). So she, er, ME... went out into the world to seek other creative types and a space to share. She (yup, me again) was blessed enough to happen upon another artist (Sara Saltee) who longed for a place to make colorful messes, and by chance they found a pretty little empty blue school. So they brought some friends and they brought some friends.....
And since the pretty little blue building had at one time been a school, it seemed only natural that they made a room (The Drawing Room) for the exchange of creative-like wisdom, techniques, and hands-on art making .
And now, happily, a bunch of creative people can gather and make stuff, teach stuff, and learn stuff in a place that is not the dining room table, the garage, or the basement but instead Blueschool Arts: located on a beautiful skinny island in the Puget Sound.
