Customer Testimonials

Hear From Our Makers

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rachel

"I had an absolute blast at the resin pouring class! My group of four friends and I had so much fun getting creative. The instructors were fantastic – they did a great job explaining everything clearly and were super accommodating with any requests we had. We all left with some awesome creations and even better memories. Highly recommend it!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tom

"What a great find. Such a great experience for two or more to share. My wife and I made a super fantastic charcuterie board. She selected the wood and design and I sanded and helped glue it. The folks helping us were professional and provided great guidance. We will definitely be back. I suggest it is a great gift for any occasion as well at half the price you would pay at a retail store. It is high quality and we look forward to handing it down for our son to use someday! Don't miss this or you truly will be missing out."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Keane

"This place is great - lots of woodworking inspiration. The owners/instructors are very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to work with. Neither of them rushed us through the project, even though we were clearly going over the time allotted. I will definitely be back for more."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stephanie

"We had a really enjoyable evening making our cutting boards. Madie was so helpful and patient and made the evening fun! Our boards turned out beautifully! A great date night."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Alex

"I've done many workshops here and my expectations are exceeded every time. The materials are high quality and the directions and guidance from Madie are informative and allow me to feel capable and excited using new tools and materials."
