Recent reviews of Knife Sharpening Workshop

  • 5/5 from Michael Sklaroff, attended Oct 2026: A simple, easy class to get you (me, actually) started on sharpening your kitchen knives. Laura was a warm and welcoming teacher, and it was just what I needed. A few words of introduction along with tips on knife care, and we jumped right in. I had pre-paid for a sharpening stone, and it was waiting for me when I got there. Laura demonstrated what to do and then we began. She answered questions throughout and observed each of us to see how we were doing. While knife sharpening is not something you'll learn in a hour+ class, I feel confident to continue doing this and practicing on my own. Thank you.
  • 5/5 from Roberta Schloss, attended Oct 2026: The Knife Sharpening class was great. I learned how to sharpen my own knives. Chef Laura guided each participant to gain the necessary skills. She is a seasoned chef who answered all questions. The kitchen in which classes are held is beautiful and the atmosphere is friendly.
  • 5/5 from April Freeman Locke, attended Oct 2026: I attended the Teaching Tables class on knife sharpening. I got a lot of value out of it and Laura is a really great teacher.
