Reviews for DIY Classes in Washington, D.C.

  • Well done and learned some things along the way. Made our 25th anniversary even better.
  • Very knowledgeable instructors and well set up work stations
  • This was an absolutely lovely learning - and doing - experience ! This was one of our 40th wedding anniversary presents to ourselves, and our class was with 3 couples just starting out. Thank you Jen, and special thanks to Beth. You are patient, knowledgeable, approachable - and fun. Pick an occasion to celebrate - with something lasting, the product of your labors - and the experience and do that celebration together. Brava !!
  • Great class and the rings are nice
  • The ring making class was SO much fun! I’ve already recommended it to a few friends. We plan on doing the class again in the future!
  • The class was great overall; really informative and interactive. I particularly liked how detailed the explanations were of each step, and the crossword was a nice touch to add historical and cultural context. Overall, I learned a lot and I left with a ring that I cherish and wear almost daily. I recommend this class to everyone I come across!
  • Jennifer was a good time and made the whole process super fun!
  • I love it
  • The class was great. The instructors were great. We had a great time.
  • Great class, fun, and informative. Overall amazing experience worth the price 3 fold
  • The Couples Ring Making Workshop was a great experience. We have a lot of fun making our matching rings, very romantic. We learn a lot about how rings are made, and also a little history of Alexandria and the shop. The class is at a beginner level, so you don't have to have experience in making jewelry before. Some wine was served during class. You can also buy some of their unique jewelry, and take other classes if you are interested in making jewelry (not just rings). There are also many unique shops for you to look around in the area. A coffee place nearby was great and very cozy.
  • Fantastic course! Dan is a very knowledgeable and approachable instructor who brings a lot of passion for his craft to the classroom. Highly recommend.
  • We had a really small class just 4 of us. Dan gives great instruction - he demos each part of the process and then will provide additional assistance through each step of making your pieces. The studio is well equipped and they take COVID seriously with dividers between workstations and requiring masks and gloves (both provided) to all who enter. I’m already signed up for Metals 2!
  • The class was fun and we learned a lot! The instructors are knowledgeable, flexible and help to develop your creativity! I can’t wait to take Metals II.
  • Alexa the instructor was great!
  • Really friendly and helpful staff who knew exactly what they were doing. The rest of my group was late, but the instructors still let them in and helped them have the same great experience anyway. There were a bunch of different options for the colors, scents, and decorations of your candle.
  • I really enjoyed the class. You will learn proper techniques from highly skilled instructors to build a good foundation for starting your metal-smithing experience. The benches used are well appointed with quality tools and equipment making it easy to learn the right way to do things. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning how to make sterling silver jewelry.
  • I enjoyed the class! The benches were well equipped and proper use of tools was a focus. Both Dan and Emily were a wealth of knowledge. They were patient and helped everyone meet with success.
  • Dan is an amazing teacher! I signed up for the metals 2 class as soon as I finished metals 1. His jewelry making techniques are awesome and the level of information he provides for each step in the process is great!
  • Dan is a great instructor. We began working in silver right away and made a whole bunch of wonderful projects! I am excited to take Metals 2!
