“We greatly enjoyed our Kumiko Woodworking Class. The experience was outstanding. The instructor was comprehesive and made the process both fun and interesting. He was personable and really engaged with us during the entire session. Moreoever, the business (Nihonsan Tools & Hardware) set things up so it enabled us beginners to understand the tools and techniques we were using and to also engage further by offering take home kits and tools we could purchase for at home use. I would enthusiastically recommend any class through Nihonsan - for beginners or more advanced woodworkers! It really felt like a welcoming community and a terrific introduction to an amazing art form.”
“Joe was a fabulous teacher. He was patient, kind, and thoughtful throughout the whole process. It was a relaxed atmosphere and the best part is that we can get snacks and coffee during the class bc it was in a cafe! I can easily see myself doing more of these classes if we didn't so far from the studio. It's definitely a great intro course to anyone who is interested in Kumiko or Japanese woodworking. It was my husband's birthday and they surprised him with a dessert with candles and it blew my husband away! I highly recommend this class.”
