I really enjoyed my Intro to Sewing class at MADE. You know how they say that everyone starts with…read morea range of experience? Well, I was the one that didn't even know how to thread the machine, so there's that. Suzie was our instructor and she was very friendly, cheerful, and helpful. She even helped me with an outside project on a day of pure stress and desperation. I wouldn't have "MADE" it without her. Rachel was in and out, and it was lovely to talk to her about her new non-profit initiative as well as to hear her passion for sewing cool things. My favorite part of the class was sewing the invisible zipper. I also liked the regular zipper. I'm so dang proud of the zippers.

I took two courses at PFW and they were well worth it. I didn't know anything about woodworking…read moreexcept for what I learned in shop class in 7th grade, basic stuff. Here, they show you how to use each tool, with safety in mind. You are explained the details about wood grain and how it warps, and you get thorough answers to questions you may have. If you are a woman considering taking a course here, you will not get that 'I don't belong here' feeling, you know what I'm talking about ladies. The two instructors are pleasant and professional. The only thing I felt a little iffy about was walking to my car in that neighborhood after class, because you have to park in the street or take public transit, I'm not familiar with the area and it seems a little shady at first glance. I'm from a different ghetto, maybe if I knew this neighborhood better it wouldn't be so bad. Look it up on street view, it's in a residential area, no restaurants in short walking distance to get lunch so bring your own, but the instructors usually have lunch for the students. Unless you're vegetarian, definitely bring your own or you'll be taking a chance. They also have a pot of coffee and a snack to munch on at breakfast.

I recently finished the Total Beginner's class. Before this, I had no woodworking experience…read morewhatsoever. After a series of evening courses, I'm now much more confident in using tools, thinking about setting up a small home woodshop, and I have a new, beautiful bookcase in my house. The class had a mix of younger and older people, men and women, folks with all sorts of backgrounds, income levels, city v. suburbs. The instructors, Mario and Alan, give a good balance between keeping the class going overall and individual attention while working on each phase of the project. I can attest that they are both very patient and personable. Both Alan and Mario love woodworking and you learn as much from talking through tools or a particular project you might be thinking about for your house as you do from the more formal elements of the course. If you're thinking about woodworking as a hobby or want to see how furniture really comes together, I highly recommend this course.

Absolutely loved my experience here. The cutting board class is a good introductory class. The…read moreinstructor was extremely educated and helpful. Quick tips: there is parking lot so you don't have to worry about street parking. They provide safety goggles and ear protection for the noise. I did get an allergic reaction to the wood (hives)- just something to look out for. Took a Benadryl and I was fine. I highly recommend this place and will def be back!

I had a two hour private instruction on sharpening hand planes and chisels. Adam was a great…read moreteacher, patient and knowledgeable. He gathered information about my needs and knowledge and started where I was in the process of learning. I was worried about walking in as a 50+ year old woman that I would feel intimidated or would not be taken seriously but it was a 10 out of 10 experience! YouTube videos are great but nothing beats in-person instruction. I will schedule private instruction if I hit another stumbling block in the future but until then I will definitely be taking some classes!
