Natasha’s classes are fantastic and taking home a finished oil painting at the end is a wonderful feeling. She is a patient and knowledgeable teacher and has a gift for explaining all the layers and steps. Highly recommended.

We could not fault the experience at all, however there was no check in process to know who was attending and we thought people could potentially take advantage of that. My partner and I wanted a memorable anniversary gift for each other, and that’s exactly what we got. Thank you Vin and Adam!! + more

My wife and I took Rémy's wooden spoon carving class as an anniversary gift, after she had mentioned wanting to get into wood carving one day. From the moment we arrived, Rémy was incredibly welcomingMy wife and I took Rémy's wooden spoon carving class as an anniversary gift, after she had mentioned wanting to get into wood carving one day. From the moment we arrived, Rémy was incredibly welcoming and created such a relaxing atmosphere, sitting around the fire and enjoying tea while we carved. Rémy was a fantastic teacher, guiding us through each step with patience, encouragement, and a genuine passion for the craft. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond to help my wife get started with wood carving beyond the class, recommending books, tools, and other resources she could use on her journey. The four hours absolutely flew by, and I was amazed at how well our spoons turned out by the end. It was a fun, rewarding, and memorable experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in wood carving. You won't regret it! Thanks again Rémy. + more
