I studied industrial design and have always wanted to build furniture of my own design. Ebanista School is the first setup I found that allows me to learn in depth the foundations of fine woodworking and furniture building. The 10-week Beginnings and Intermediate courses are perfectly tailored to maximize the opportunity to learn new skills, ranging from making tongue and groove boxes to tables with mortise and tenon joints. Jonathan's enthusiasm for woodworking and craftsmanship is infectious. I started taking his classes in 2019, and there was never a moment when a question would not be answered or a demonstration repeated for the benefit of the students. It's a privilege to learn from Jonathan's vast experience and to share ideas about a world that for me had been somewhat intimidating. I couldn't recommend the courses more highly for anyone that is curious or serious about learning the essential skills of woodworking.

Jonathan is a world-class woodworker, and enthusiastic teacher. His teaching style emphasized student creativity, and I felt like I had just enough leeway to add my own design elements to the piece I was making without accidentally committing to something overboard.

Had a great time. Been working with wood for years and still learned very useful things in the beginners 1 class. Would recommend to anyone looking to expand their experiences or really get into wood working.

I had the fortune of coming across Jonathan Cohen, (the instructor of my class) while I was researching places I could learn woodworking. He called me back promptly, and invited me down to the school where I could get more of a feel about what I was getting into, and converse about where I was as a woodworker, and if I was a good fit. He suggested starting in the beginning 1 class, and I don’t regret it a bit. The first project is a tray, with tung and groove joints. We went over shop safety, understanding wood, using chisels and planes, gluing up, finishing and got to touch on finding your style, or voice in this art form. This school is great, Jonathan is an extremely dedicated teacher with great insights and knowledge in this craft. If you have questions, he will answer them, no such thing as a dumb question and no shame in asking. He offers insights in what it takes to begin and push forward and will help you in any way he can. The environment is comfortable and inspiring. Truly a pleasure to work in and be apart of. It’s a privilege to be a student in this curriculum. TLDR: If your looking for an environment to learn and grow skills as a woodworker, you’ve found it. This is a great place to be. Check out the website to get more of a feel and reach out. You won’t regret it.

TL;DR want to learn fine woodworking in Seattle? Jonathan’s Ebanista School is a must, get in touch with him. Seriously, just drop by or give him a call. Apart from learning practical and traditional (but timeless) skills, the most important thing you will get out of the school is learning Jonathan’s philosophy on woodworking, a transcendental approach of becoming intimate with the material, design, and processes to produce exquisite works.
