I took a woodworking workshop with Raymond as my teacher and it was a wonderful experience. Raymond has a very positive and contagious energy and his passion for teaching was very obvious. He walked us through each step of our project (building a wooden plant stand) with patience, taking the time to answer all our questions, and he gave us such a positive experience. I'd highly recommend taking any class with Les Affûtés, but specifically any woodworking workshop with Raymond.

Loved my first experience at Les Affûtés! I built a portmanteau with zero experience and zero confidence but gained it all thanks to our attentive prof and great classmates.
Best gift I have to myself this year; looking forward to more woodworking classes in the future to build even more skills and confidence.

Great experience. Seldom do you get to do something fun and challenging and leave with something to show for it. If you like novel experiences, creating or learning new skills, Les Afutes is for you

Omg I love this place and I am so happy I found them!!! I want to take all their classes. I took their tiling class for the first time this Monday and I felt so proud of the little thing I did in such short time. That's also the good part for me - the workshops are short and sweet and get to the point....you don't have to be dragged on through endless classes and studies just to get precisely the skill you need. I am so happy they exist. I've written down the list of workshops my husband and I will be taking over the next few weeks so that we are able to renovate our home ourselves. Their mission is to give back autonomy and I could not be more aligned with that spirit. Our teacher was Cedrik and he was lovely, bilingual, kind and fun. You can also rent their woodworking space/workshop if you need (after taking a course learning to use the tools). I look forward to more!!

Very, VERY happy with the class I took here to learn about cheesemaking. The class was not too large (we were twelve), fully equipped, very well framed yet not so strict we had no margin for error or experimenting. The person giving the class was fantastic, and I am definitely looking forward to my next one!
They also have bilingual classes (English or French), which is another plus. Furthermore, the sheer variety in them means this is a gift that keeps giving. For those who do not have the equipment to redo these things (like me), Les Affûtés also offers "open" classes, which is yet another major bonus!
