I took Sculptural Woodworking when it was offered for the first time last fall and enrolled again for the winter session because wanted to continue to learn from Jared. I really liked that the class was fluid and experimental but also learned a lot of technical skills.
I took this class because I have always wanted to try woodworking and take a class at the Eliot. Jared was fantastic; a natural teacher. He is so knowledgeable and skilled, knows when to be present and when to leave space. His enthusiasm and energy is inspiring. The space was great. The group had a great vibe. I loved this class!
