    Fantastic! Not only is the class well taught but our instructor was also kind, supporting, compassionate and very patient. Without any kind of previous experience we simply had to follow her guidance to create beautiful card holders. Thanks again, I am coming back soon!

    My adult son and I took this class and loved it. We picked our leather, cut it and hand sewed the wallet. The instructor was patient and kind - I messed up quit a bit. We are taking the skateboard making class next week and will definitely take more classes there. The location is convenient and the shop is very nice inside. I highly recommend this business.
