This plant hanger macrame workshop with Lesle was the highlight of my week! I got this as a gift for my mom's birthday, prior to booking - Leslie was very communicative and helped me arrange the datesThis plant hanger macrame workshop with Lesle was the highlight of my week! I got this as a gift for my mom's birthday, prior to booking - Leslie was very communicative and helped me arrange the dates and expectation for the workshop. During the workshop, she provided amazing instructions on how to create our own first plant hanger! My mom absolutely loved this workshop and that's what made me the happiest. We both thought that making this are was going to be very difficult but were surprised at the beatuy we created in the end thanks to Leslie's instructions! Though we booked a group class, my mom and I were the only ones in the workshop - and I'd highly recommend a private class as we had a more intimate and detailed instructions, with patience and care. My mom and I went to Michael's later that day to get some cords of our own to keep the technique fresh! + more

Sara is a fantastic teacher and has a real gift for making woodworking feel approachable, fun, and totally doable. She explains things clearly and thoroughly, and she’s always nearby, paying attention and ready to jump in with guidance or hands-on help. I never felt lost or intimidated, even using the power tools that were completely new to me. Super cool to learn with a small group of women. Plus, I’m silly proud of my cutting board and can’t wait to return to Strong Wood Studio. + more

What a wonderful evening of learning and creating with Robin. She is an exceptionally gifted artisan who brings decades of experience across an extraordinary range of textile arts, from sashiko embroidery,What a wonderful evening of learning and creating with Robin. She is an exceptionally gifted artisan who brings decades of experience across an extraordinary range of textile arts, from sashiko embroidery, stumpwork, and natural fabric dyeing to blackwork, which she studied during her time in London. Her years in the New York fashion industry are evident not only in the depth of her knowledge, but in the generosity and ease with which she shares it. Robin welcomed us into her home studio and created such a warm, patient environment for learning. The time flew by. She was thorough without making the process feel rigid, and the kit included a generous variety of supplies that were useful during the workshop and allowed us to continue our projects afterward. I spent much of my time learning and practicing sashiko stitching, and one of the things I appreciated most was the freedom of visible mending itself. There is less emphasis on perfection and more appreciation for the rugged, lived-in, vintage character of something repaired, renewed, and made beautiful again. I always feel like that’s a reflection of my own life… An unexpected highlight was seeing Robin’s blackwork and hearing her describe the similarities she has observed between historic European blackwork patterns and Japanese needlework. As a Christian, I found myself thinking about God as Creator and the creativity He has placed within those He created. Long before the internet made it possible for us to see one another’s work instantly, people across cultures were creating patterns, order, beauty, and meaning with their hands. There was something deeply moving to me about seeing echoes of that creativity across traditions. Robin’s artistry is exquisite, but so is her willingness to share what she has learned over a lifetime. I left with new skills, an unfinished piece I’m excited to keep working on, and an even greater appreciation for the gift of creating with our hands. I would absolutely take another class with her. + more

It was such a special and meaningful experience for us to share together! Kat was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about the art of kintsugi. I loved hearing about her own journey, what she has learned from her mentors, and how she has taken this ancient art and added a modern twist that makes the experience reflective, thoughtful, creative, and very enjoyable. Kat puts so much care into preparing her students and takes the extra time to guide and support you through each step of the process. You can really tell how much she loves what she does! We had a wonderful time, learned a lot, and walked away with our own kintsugi pieces and a special memory together. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a unique and meaningful experience! + more
