  • Wood Burn a Charcuterie Board

    Anonymous review on 1/24/2024
    This was GREAT! Wasn't sure how this would work as a virtual class but it was terrific. Instructions were clear, materials easy to use, the 'pinning' feature on Zoom allowed us to see detailed demonstration better than if in-person, and a group of us were able to take this class together in spite of being apart.

    I didn't expect we would actually make things (since never done this before), but we made a few bowls and I'm excited that I'll be able to pick them up at later time to take them home. It was fun and I learned something! would do it again.
