Brianna was an awesome instructor. Enthusiastic, full of energy, super knowledgeable and so approachable for any questions. She demo’d a range of tools and pieces of equipment in the workshop in a way that was straightforward and easy to remember. So awesome! The workshop itself was also a ton of fun. The makerspace was really well equipped and the other students were a friendly bunch. It was also pretty interesting to see other people working in the space on personal projects... super inspiring. At the end of the class, we had our 5 board bench to take home. My girlfriend was impressed. We use it as a TV stand now in our living room. It’s very much our vibe! Thanks again guys

Hi there, had a good time in this class. We were well supported by the teacher, learnt about the tools and came home with a great bench that impressed the family. I also have a better understanding of how to fit wood together so it will support weight.
