I took an intro class here. What a wonderful experience! The teachers and the students are so great. I am definitely going back!

Took a class just to get certified in the machines so I could rent studio time on my own. Unfortunate because I would have spent a lot of my time and money here otherwise. The instructor at the class specifically stated she had preset the drill press to the correct settings for our project. I obviously should have double checked on my own but trusted her. Subsequently drilled holes in all my pieces incorrectly. Once discovered, I was instructed to grab some scrap wood and redo the smaller pieces but I was out of luck on the bigger pieces. I was forced to complete my project with four not subtle holes glaringly obvious to any observer. When you charge 180 for a class with plenty of wood laying around, and it was your error for claiming correct settings, yes, I expect replacement wood. Decided not to use this as my studio because if they skimp on that, everything is called into question. Facilities are fine otherwise.
Took private classes there with Noah and also a weekend beginner class. Studio is clean, well lit, organized, and the machines are constantly checked/maintained to ensure safety. The owner Robyn is very nice and helpful. Noah is a great teacher and a great woodworker. If you're looking for a studio to create your own projects or start a new hobby, Makeville is a great place to start.
I recently took the Intro to Woodworking class at Makeville and loved the experience! I learned so much, and came away with an adorable stool that I'm really proud of. I felt like the Intro to Woodworking course gave me a great knowledge base but plan to take more classes to get even more comfortable with the equipment before I get certified and start projects on my own. I highly recommend this studio if you're looking for woodworking classes or a space to work on independent projects.
Had a wonderful experience in a private Make & Take class where my wife and I created custom serving/cutting boards with Jenna Goodman. It was the perfect combination of instruction/guidance and giving us the ability to be creative. She was very patient, detail oriented, and encouraging. The materials were stellar, and the end result turned out great! This was a fun and rewarding experience that leaves you with a functional (and hopefully beautiful) end result.
