When extra help was needed,To say that we enjoyed ourselves is an understatement. Travis was a phenomenal instructor. He gave clear and helpful explanations on the techniques needed to completed our rug. When extra help was needed, he was very kind and encouraging. I’d never tufted before but within minutes, I felt confident and was pretty self-sufficient. Even still, Travis was the perfect level of engaged. He wasn’t hovering over us during our class and allowed us to do our thing but was attentive and alert enough to see if/when extra guidance or correction was needed. I will definitely be taking another class with Travis. I thank him for his instruction, hospitality, and the confidence he instilled in me and my girlfriend from the very beginning. We’re not professionals by any means but we learned so much and have a solid foundation. I picked a simple design but I now know that I can do something more intricate next time. + more
