Jen is the most adaptable teacher/mentor. Our group of 7 had the most breadth/diversity of knowledge levels. Jen made it fresh and new for all participants and kept all participants fully engaged.

I use a wheelchair, so things like this can be a little bit intimidating but Jen was so accommodating and patient! I would absolutely do another class with her, what a fun day. 10/10

We visited with our three teenagers, and all five of us had a great time! Jen is a great instructor, a master at keeping the whole class engaged and progressing on their projects while also ensuring everyone's safety. She took the time to demonstrate each step of each of our projects as we went along, and then helped us to do the work ourselves. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours, well worth the cost, and we each got to bring home something we'd forged ourselves!
