I had a wonderful time at the utility knife making workshop! From the minute I arrived, the environment was welcoming and friendly - I immediately felt at ease even though I have never done anything like this before and didn't know anyone else. The instructors (Tobi, Robbie) were informative and patient, and guided us through a well-paced workshop, during which I felt completely comfortable to ask questions, and ask for help when needed.
