Beginner Woodcarving
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. -

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! -

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. -

Build Your Own Adirondack Chair
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 -
Furniture Restoration and Repair
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. -
