I liked how interactive and unique the experience was. It was great to see the children learning new skills while having fun together.Thank you
- 5/5 from Gab Knox, attended May 2026: My 9 year old son attended a birthday party/workshop on the weekend at Ask & Embla and made a gorgeous shelf that he has proudly displayed in his bedroom.

He is such a passionate, patient and giving teacher and the kids were all given the opportunity to create individually, using all the proper tools! 4 hours flew by and they went home happy and proud with their own beautiful, hand-carved and finished creations and with new knowledge and confidence around working with wood. We’ll be back!!
- 5/5 from Marisa, attended Feb 2026: What a fantastic experience for my 14 & 8 year old kids. Such a positive workshop. They came away happy, engaged and excited about what they’d made. The class was well run and gave them a real sense of achievement. Thank you so much!

- 5/5 from Jian, attended Feb 2026: My 9-year-old son Aiden joined the woodworking workshop at Ask & Embla Wood Co on Sunday and absolutely loved it. He independently made a wooden cooking spatula from a raw plank to a finished, sanded piece. It was a fantastic hands-on, screen-free experience that really encouraged focus, patience, and resilience. He learned to use real tools safely and stayed fully engaged the whole time. Such a great experience — highly recommend for kids who enjoy making things and learning real skills.
