• 5/5 from Mil Apostol, attended Aug 2026: Sara was awesome! Not only was she extremely knowledgeable (her many years of experience shows), she was also patient. I didn't feel anxious at all. Plus, she really emphasized safety. I'm planning on taking more classes with Sara. Thank you.
• 5/5 from Kweli Kitwana, attended Jun 2026: If I could give this class 10 stars I would. Sara is an amazing artist. Her class is by over and beyond what we expected. As a person who has never used power tools, she made the learning curve open up my eyes to fearless woodworking.
• 5/5 from Mimi Sommer, attended Jun 2026: Sara and all of her household are fantastic, warm and welcoming, supportive and helpful! We all left with a beautiful piece of wood art that we made ourselves and that we can actually use! Now I feel comfortable using some wood tools. I can’t wait to make something else :)
• 5/5 from Karina Fong-Hirschfelder, attended Jun 2026: This was such an awesome class!! We'd never done woodworking before & the power tools looked so scary at first, but by the end we felt so confident and we want to pick it up as hobby now! The class is in a cozy backyard & was small enough that we got individual attention. We learned how to use 6 different power tools, how to join wood together, and how to sand. The cutting boards we made are gorgeous and will definitely be the center piece of my house. Thank you Sarah & Strong Wood Studio for such an amazing class! Highly recommend!! -Karina & Leena
• 5/5 from Jolie Krakauer, attended Jun 2026: Sara is the most amazing teacher. She was incredibly instructive and created a space that wasfull of joy I learned so much and the project she had us create was beautiful. Each one was similar, but there was room for some creativity to shine through. The class was delightful. I highly lrecommend it.
• 5/5 from Robin Bradford, attended Jun 2026: Super fun class! Sara was welcoming, extremely helpful and patient, and kept things moving along nicely. There were eight of us in this two-part class and everyone came away with a beautifully crafted, unique cutting board. Thank you, highly recommended!
• 5/5 from Shine Wang, attended May 2026: What a fun and unique way to learn woodworking basics, with a useful keepsake! Sara is a patient and kind teacher and the space she creates is so welcoming. This was such a special experience with a wonderful and intimate group.
• 5/5 from Emily Walden, attended May 2026: Best class ever! Learned how to use power tools like a table saw in a really low pressure, supportive environment. Built my confidence with tools and now I’m so excited to do more!
• 5/5 from Rio Bell, attended Apr 2026: Wow!! This is a super awesome class I still can't believe I made this gorgeous cutting board in only a few hours! It looks and feels incredibly luxe, like something you'd find in a boutique, and would make an excellent gift. I've never worked with power tools like this before and am shocked a complete beginner like me can walk away with such a cool piece of woodworking magic! The class is based at Strong Wood Studio in Berkeley overlooking a beautiful garden, and is a really lovely space to spend a couple of afternoons. Street parking was pretty simple to find (the first day I got a spot right in front, and the next day only a block away). The teacher, Sara, is AMAZING. From the moment I arrived, I immediately felt welcomed and excited to learn the materials. Throughout the class, she gave clear and kind instructions, and encouraged questions and breaks during the process. I had no idea there was so much to learn about wood (even that different wood have unique scents when working with them) and you could tell how knowledgeable and passionate about the craft she is when she happily pulled out extra tools and tips to help us understand a skill or answer niche questions. I admit I was a little nervous to work with some of the tools (I'm looking at you router) but Sara had step-by-step processes and advice that made it seamless to follow. I had a good grasp of the directions before handling the tools, appreciated the close supervision while using, and was encouraged to move at my own pace. It was really fun to celebrate each win after completing a task or learning a new technique. This would make a wonderful date with friends or partners, or an epic birthday idea! I will never forget my time there, and I hope to take more classes with Sara in the future
• 5/5 from Joni Miller, attended Apr 2026: Sara was Awesome! She was enthusiastic and organized. Sara had all the materials prepped, talked about how to use each tool before we tried it and was encouraging every step of the way. In the end we had gorgeous cheese boards to show off to our friends.
• 5/5 from Sylvie Lu, attended Apr 2026: The workshop was fantastic! Susan was an excellent teacher. She is very knowledgeable and was very clear with her instructions. Facing all the power tools was intimidating, but Susan was very kind and patient, which helped a lot. I learned a lot at the workshop, and made a beautiful cutting board with little woodworking background. I highly recommend the workshop!
