    I found it very useful to make some time to disconnect and build something with my hands.
    The intro to the tools and the skill to work the wood was very good.
    staff was very nice and helpful, space was clean and bright and efficient for the work to be done.
    Final product was A gift to my daughter and she was very happy to have it.
    Bonus : lovely cappuccino prepared by the founder at the beginning of the class to enjoy and get you in the mood. lovely sunday afternoon overall.
