STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY.
Loved by workshop participants from across Northern Virginia,
Maryland, DC and beyond.
"I recently took the Subway Tile Backsplash class here and was so impressed that I immediately signed up for another course. You can watch as many online tutorials as you want, but nothing replaces actually doing the work yourself."

"Just attended the "She Owns It" electrical basics workshop this weekend and I'm so glad I did. The instructors were great, the workshop was all hands-on and I left with really practical skills and much more knowledge about electrical systems and wiring."

"I knew that my 16 year old son would enjoy the classes but I had no Idea how much he would LOVE them. This summer, he took the Intro to Power Tools teen class with Richard and when I picked him up afterwards he said, "This is what I want to do."
