Recent reviews of Beginner Redwood Planter Box Building Class
- 5/5 from Kathy, attended Oct 2026: Stop scrolling and sign up for this class! Sara of Strong Wood Studios is a wonderful teacher. The planter boxes are so beautiful! This was such a nice class with a small group of supportive women, held in a lovely setting. Sara is super organized, fun, supportive, and safety conscious. In no time, she had us safely and confidently using so many different power tools. The mystery of the power tool has been unleashed, and I'm hooked. Thank you, Sara!
- 5/5 from Emi Yoshida, attended Oct 2026: Sarah Strong is the most encouraging instructor ever, and her Strong Wood Studio is such an inviting and inspiring space, with all its lovely lighting and plants and pets! I loved learning how to make a planter - with a drill, driver, chop saw, jig saw, and nail gun! Highly recommend! Will definitely attend more classes here!
- 5/5 from Jessica Burgos, attended Oct 2026: Awesome class! Will definitely come back for another class and have already told my friends about it.
- 5/5 from John Herold, attended Sep 2026: Had a great time with Sara building planter boxes!! Recommended for anyone looking to learn while having a great time.

Hi, I’m Sara, the maker behind Strong Wood Studio.My love of woodworking started when I was young, learning the craft from my grandfather in his workshop. He believed that making things with your hands was one of the most meaningful skills a person could learn. Those early days in the shop sparked a lifelong passion for design, craftsmanship, and the quiet satisfaction of building something real from a piece of wood.Professionally, I’ve spent more than 15 years working as a product designer, designing digital experiences used by millions of people. But woodworking has always been my creative counterbalance -- a place where design moves from the screen into the physical world.Today at Strong Wood Studio, I design and build custom furniture and home goods from beautiful hardwoods like walnut, ash, and hickory. My work blends modern design with traditional craftsmanship, and every piece is made with the same attention to detail I bring to my design career.Teaching woodworking is one of my favorite parts of the craft. I love watching people walk into the shop a little unsure and leave amazed at what they were able to create with their own hands. Woodworking has a way of building confidence quickly -- the moment someone makes their first clean cut or perfect joint, you can see their excitement.My classes are designed to be welcoming, hands-on, and beginner friendly. Whether you're trying woodworking for the first time, looking for a creative night out, or bringing a team together for a unique bonding experience, my goal is for you to leave with new skills, a finished project you're proud of, and the confidence to keep making.A fun fact many people don’t know: woodworking is actually incredibly approachable. With just a few fundamental skills and the right guidance, anyone can learn to safely use the tools and create beautiful things.If you've ever wanted to try woodworking, I'd love to welcome you into the shop.Come make something with me.— SaraStrong Wood Studio
