• Buddy Up: Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Anonymous • August 15, 2026
  It was awesome to start with three blocks of raw wood and have the hands on woodworking experience to shape that wood into a real table. Robbie was great—patient, helpful, and full of great woodworking insight!

• Beginner Woodcarving

  Andrea B. • July 13, 2026
  I signed my husband and me up for this course as a surprise birthday gift for him, and it was a blast! Vince was great at showing us the ropes, offering guidance when we needed it, and also letting us do our own thing. It felt like a day at the shop with friends. We're looking forward to more classes here in the future, and definitely recommend this class to anyone interested in learning about woodcarving.

• Furniture Restoration and Repair

  Sasha M. • April 13, 2026
  Max was so knowledgeable, helpful and kind. He went above and beyond. The class was very spacious with lots of tools. I’ve learned so much in just two days. I wish I could have done this class every weekend!

• Buddy Up: Pinewood Derby - Car Racing for Everyone

  Anonymous • March 16, 2026
  This was a fun, engaging class led by a friendly and knowledgeable instructor. One of the best classes I've taken!

• Introduction to the Lathe: Bowl Turning

  Steven M. • December 10, 2025
  Great class, taught by Glen, an extremely knowledgeable woodworker! We were able to learn to use a lathe, shape a bowl from a block of wood, and finish it all in 3 hours. I definitely recommend this class to anyone who is interested in the art of wood turning.

• Beginner Woodcarving

  Bonnie M. • October 14, 2025
  It was so much fun! Vince, the instructor was patient and explained things when I asked so many questions! It was my first time wood carving and I made a hippo! All tools and materials were provided. Everybody was positive and supportive. I am definitely taking another class there.

• Date Night: Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Rachel L. • September 1, 2025
  Really fun and well structured class that balanced learning a new skill with relaxing and having a good time .

• Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Rajen B. • July 8, 2025
  Great entry level workshop with a nice variety of tool instruction! I was admittedly looking for something bigger (the name was a little misleading to me) but the skills can be applied elsewhere. Friendly instructors and cool vibe!

• DIY Beverage Caddy

  Ali G. • June 10, 2025
  Baran was such a great teacher. He made sure that we understood the purpose of each tool and taught us the correct technique to use them. The class was super fun and a great learning experience. And my beverage caddy is so cute!! Would recommend this class 100%!

• Introduction to the Lathe: Bowl Turning

  Anonymous • June 10, 2025
  The class was wonderful. I am contemplating taking another one to make something more complex. Highly recommended.

• Introduction to the Lathe: Bowl Turning

  Lauren K. • June 10, 2025
  I had a really wonderful class at Glen's studio a couple of weeks ago. I'm still blown away by the bowl I made! Glen has a well-stocked, clean, and bright workshop that has two lathes, so the class will always be small. You get a lot of personal attention/instruction and he covered a ton of info, from which turning tools to use for each step, how fix gouges, how to apply your finish of choice such that it really, really gets into the piece, etc. He also answered all of my questions, from choosing wood, the differences between turning green vs kiln-dried, how the difference sizes of lathes can be best utilized and more. I've taken one turning class before from someone else, and Glen's class was much more informative and personal. Five stars, across the board.

• Make a Classic Longboard (Introduction to Woodworking)

  Andrew S. • April 10, 2025
  The Longboard class was just so well thought out. It was a one and done session which started with a great overview of the class. We talked through designs and goals, and then started sketching out our plans. The support was superb - If you were more advanced, the team offered suggestions and guidance, and if you were completely novice, they were extremely attentive. The level of instruction was wonderful and the class was fun and informative. I can't recommend this highly enough. From start to finish, this was money well spent!

• Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Anonymous • March 12, 2025
  I took the class with three others, so not a large class which made it easier to do the build in a relaxed fashion. Will, the instructor, was great at walking us through the build and providing information about the various tools, and also how additional safety guards had been installed to make it safer for those new at woodworking. We got to watch a bit of Japanese woodworking and share a beer as well!

• Charcuterie Board

  Daniel W. • February 28, 2025
  I had a great experience in this course. If it were a little closer to where I lived, I would sign up for more classes with this instructor. The class was hands on, easy to understand and very interactive. I cannot wait for my next class.

• Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Dominique K. • January 20, 2025
  Really cool hobby class. Great intro into woodworking basics. We learned how to do a stool and used a miter saw and a router in class, and put together a table using joinery (I think that's the proper term). Instructor was awesome - very personable and even stayed late when we needed more time. Close to the subway, really neat little space and it was a great way to spend a Friday night.

• Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Jake H. • January 13, 2025

• Make a Barrel to Age Your Own Whiskey and Craft Cocktails

  john h. • October 14, 2024
  My barrel is water tight and looks great. That is the main thing. Besides this, it was also entertaining. Of less importance to me, but still nice, is the fact that the shop was stylish, clean and organized. This would be a fun thing for a group of friends looking for something different to do.

• Date Night: Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Mary N. • August 3, 2024

• Buddy Up: Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Ingrid M. • July 7, 2024
  I would definitely rate the course a 10! The instructor was kind and patient and demonstrated every step to inspire confidence in us.

  Rachel C. • March 2, 2024
  The instructor David Sokoler was fantastic. He was funny and personable. He was also knowledgeable and made himself available to us as a resource for any questions we had about woodworking in general or our personal projects. The class was cute and served as a great introduction to power tools and was accessible even without prior experience.

• Buddy Up: Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Janessa R. • February 11, 2024
  The instructor was very knowledgeable and gave us step by step instructions. She also modeled how to handle the wood pieces and power tools. The space had a very chill and industrial vibe with cool decor. There was music playing and they even provided coffee and water. Plenty of opportunities for photos as well. We had a great time building our little Oak side table. I will be booking more classes going forward and I highly recommend Craftsman for your wood working classes!

  This was a ton of fun. The host was fantastic, great run through of the process and help with tools. 100% worthwhile experience. Thanks a lot!

• Wooden Spoon Carving

  Anonymous • January 14, 2024
  The first session was so much fun! Due to poor weather, the second session has been rescheduled. The rescheduling process was painless - we were all emailed and given a few possible reschedule dates. I really enjoy the pace of the class day, the size of the group, and the instruction from Kate was so warm, welcoming, and informative.

  Greg G. • November 13, 2023
  Will, the instructor for my class was a great teacher. He was very informative, friendly and held an organized and fun class for beginners. He is very knowledgeable on tools, safety and wood finishes and shared a lot of information with us. Overall it was a fun experience and I highly recommend the class to anyone interested.

• Wood Carving

  michael c. • August 2, 2023
  This class was FANTASTIC. Carlos is an incredible teacher. He is always encouraging, knowledgeable, and interesting. He allows you the freedom to pursue what you are interested in and helps steer you along the way to complete your project. I also love how he introduces art/artists into class in ways that make you think about art differently. I will definitely be taking more classes with him.

• Build Your Own Adirondack Chair

  Daryl W. • June 25, 2023
  A well organized class that taught several woodworking skills with a variety of tools. The best part is taking home a great chair you made yourself. There is a fair amount of pre-work done to make the class move along smoothly. It is easy to move at your own pace and the instructor is hepful and can recognize when learners need more or less assistance

• Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Crandell D W. • May 14, 2023
  I really enjoyed my time at the craftsmen studio. The instructor Will did such a great job in making me feel comfortable while making a side table. Will did a great job in showing me the safety features of the equipment that was used to make the side table. Will has gained my respect because he is such a great teacher. He was very conversational & knowledgeable about wood working. Fantastic teacher & class

• Furniture Restoration and Repair

  Christine D. • April 24, 2023
  Really great. I learned so much and realized how much patience is a part of restoration. Our teacher Max was terrific. Each project went home stronger and fresher than how it came into class. I really enjoyed the weekend.

  zaineb a. • April 22, 2023

• Date Night: Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Anonymous • March 9, 2023
  Great class to learn basics on how to use tools and learn about woodworking. The instructor explained things really well and made the class a lot of fun! The table was smaller than I expected but then it took us the full 4 hours to make it. Pizza and wine were good too :) Really fun date and a chance to make something with your partner!

• Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Anonymous • January 13, 2023
  The instructors, Michelle and Mossimo, were great—friendly, answered questions, and helpful. Fun class although the table was so small. Could it have been a little bigger? Like 12 by 12? And I understand it’s a beginners course and I don’t know much about woodworking, but I was surprised that our table was held together by glue, not nails…. Are there multi week courses so we can learn more advanced information & make other items?

• Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  James D. • January 9, 2023
  Such a great experience. The staff was incredible, friendly and helpful. Was very informative without being too hands-on. Would definitely recommend!

• Make a Classic Longboard (Introduction to Woodworking)

  Daniela M. • October 17, 2022
  This class was amazing!!! We cut the wood to the shape we chose, stained it, decorated it, picked the color wheels we wanted … we did everything! And finished the class with a masterpiece. Arlene is a great instructor and Jeff is an amazing sidekick. We (me, my adult son and adult nephew) had a great time. I highly recommend this experience.

• Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Varia S. • October 4, 2022
  It was a great class in a sense that it was quite easy. The studio had prepared the design of the stool we were building as well as the sequence of construction with every tool having a custom jig that allowed for perfect cuts and tight fits. It ended up just being three students including myself which meant we could ask many questions without holding up the class.

  This class was delightful! The instructors were delightful, the other participants were delightful, and the project was delightful. I am certainly going to return in the future.

  This course was amazing! The location was charming and the class was informative and fun. My boyfriend and I left with an amazing coffee table that we absolutely love.

• Make Your Own Ukulele

  Ingrid M. • September 16, 2022
  During the summer, I took a class at the Kingston Maritime Museum with guitar maker and woodworker Bill Sterling. We built our own Ukeleles from start to finish. it was hard and detailed work that took three whole days (and still needs a final coating). I learned some good woodworking skills, and although it was a big challenge, I had so much fun--hats off to Luthiers. Now I am on my way to learning how to play it. Thank you again. It was a fabulous opportunity that I will never forget.

• Make a Classic Longboard (Introduction to Woodworking)

  Helena K. • September 14, 2022
  The Make a Classic Longboard/Skateboard class was fantastic! The instructor created an atmosphere with the perfect balance of educational and fun, providing enough support to guide the class, while still encouraging the "students" to enjoy the process and do their own thing. I'm so impressed by the longboard I got to bring home, and I would suggest this class to any individual, couple or friends looking to do something different, no matter your experience level!

• Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

  Amelia W. • September 14, 2022
  The make a side table class was amazing with two truly fun, patient instructors that'd help you with your table and any problems you came across. You get to sand its edges how you want, though you won't paint it after it's made. It was neat to see what people made and they offered beer after the class. It is a lot of work in those 4 hours: we used 3 different types of (automatic) saws so it gave you a good taste of what a multi-week woodworking class would be like. Great place and can't wait to go back for more classes.
