Live Workshops @ Q Cafe

I’m very excited about being able to offer hands-on workshops and labs in Seattle. It wouldn’t be possible without the help of the wonderful folks at Q Cafe in Seattle’s Interbay neighborhood.

Fostering community has been a focus of mine, both online and offline, since I first started building pieces of the web back in 1997, and I’m happy to be able to team up with Q Cafe, who also focus on building and maintaining community. One of my reasons for partnering with Q Cafe is their commitment to donating 10% of all their cafe sales each month to a local non-profit organization.

All of my hands-on workshops/labs will be held in Q’s conference room, and all coffee (Stumptown), direct trade espresso drinks, teas, pastries, bagels, water, will be provided for full day sessions. If you arrive early enough, you can snag one of the big leather chairs pictured below!

I chose Q Cafe for some practical reasons too:

  • Plenty of free parking
  • Right on the #15 and #18 bus routes
  • Chill, comfortable environment
  • Great coffee and tea (those things are important)

I plan to have regular workshops/labs at Q Cafe on a monthly basis in WordPress, Dreamweaver, and more. My video editing labs will resume as well. Jump on my mailing list for the heads-up about all workshops first.

If you’re in the Interbay neighborhood, drop by Q Cafe for a damn good cup of coffee or tea, check out the local artists work on display around the space, or sit back and enjoy some live music. You’ll be glad you did.
