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

    Course was great. Everything was explained at the right pace and in detail. Instructor was helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. Made the course that much more enjoyable. I would recommend for a fun afternoon.

    Ranger was fantastic! I would take another class with them any day. In between clear instructions and the fire playlist they let us take the lead on the sewing machines and helped us order food from a local spot so we didn't starve. Would definitely recommend this class.

    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.
  • Date Night: Build a Custom Copper Lamp

    Reviewed by Janessa R. on 3/1/2024
    This class was really awesome! The instructor was very thorough in explaining all the steps to building our lamp. There were plenty of materials and time to plan and work on our masterpiece. It was an opportunity to brainstorm and put our skills to the test but in a fun way. The best part was I got to bond and enjoy pizza and wine with my date! It was a great experience and I highly recommend this class!

    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!

  • Make a Stained Glass Work of Art (Intro level)

    Reviewed by Ronni G. on 1/16/2024
    I had a very negative experience in this class. Perhaps I should have done more research before the class as I had absolutely no idea how complicated the process would be. Also expected much more guidance and explanation. There were too many people in the class and it should have been divided into two classes to give us some more understanding of what kind of designs would be possible in the medium. We could have done one whole class learning how to come up with appropriate designs and how to cut the glass and use the tools instead of trying to complete a finished product in the allotted time. This class did not take into account different learning styles and was too difficult to be considered Stained Glass 101. I ended up so depressed I left halfway through. I’ve taken ceramics classes, a block printing workshop, and learned how to solder, so didn’t expect to have such a frustrating experience with this medium. If this were a true beginners class it should have been much more simplified instead of racing us through each process. Telling us beforehand that our design should be as big as a hand and could have eight pieces was also misleading for absolute novices. We could have been better prepared by being told that the process was more like assembling a jigsaw puzzle. This would have been a more accurate way to prepare us beforehand. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.

    Build a Custom Lamp with Craftsman My hosts were Jacob and Jullian, both were fantastic. I like to give a special thanks to Jullian for all of her additional assistance. She is so very kind and special. I also, got to meet a wonderful young woman named Victoria. Victoria, it was definitely because of you, I came home with a completed project. The vibe in the atmosphere was everything that really promoted such creativity for so many in the room. People projects were amazing. We were shown to cut our own copper piping to create our lamps. This would be a great holiday gift to give to anyone or yourself, perfect for a couple night! I can not wait to enrolled in other workshops they chave to offer.

    Fantastic class. We loved the instructors. It was a great introduction to woodworking. The table you are building is quite small though. Not usable as a side table in most cases.
