Testimonials

Woodturning has brought life back in me. And to have this opportunity literally, it's just adding to saving my life, I guess. So I can't, yeah, I just can't thank y'all enough.

The veterans scholarship program has been absolutely amazing. I’ve been able to come and learn from the best. It has been incredibly rewarding and I’ve gained a lot of knowledge this week. It’s been very engaging, the instructors have been incredibly helpful. I definitely encourage other veterans to apply to this program.

The Craft Supplies USA Veteran Scholarship was a great boon, you know, it got me to come to a class, that I might not have otherwise been able to afford or to enjoy so it was great gift.
