The woodworking fundamentals course completely changed my approach to craftsmanship. Marcus is an exceptional teacher who makes complex techniques accessible. I built my first dovetail drawer and couldn't be prouder of the result.

Elena's metalworking classes opened up a whole new world for me. The hands-on approach and small class size meant I got personalized attention and really mastered the techniques. Now I'm making my own custom tools.
