I’ll be booking more classes for winter/spring 2027: subscribe to my blog on the sidebar (page right) to keep up-to-date on my class schedule.

Emphasis will be placed on learning skills and techniques that you can take home with you. I have no secrets and am happy to answer all questions as time permits. Most tools are provided and all materials are included in the class fee. Amazingly delicious lunches featuring local and organic ingredients are provided by a local chef.

My shop is located in the woods of Orange County, North Carolina. A five minute drive brings you to the quaint shops of Hillsborough. The lively college town of Chapel Hill is twenty scenic minutes to the south. A number of bed-and-breakfasts and hotels are located nearby, and Chapel Hill has more restaurants than a horse has fleas, if your appetite can withstand the analogy.

“Elia! Thank you SO MUCH. The time just flew by for me. You are so quick to smile and laugh and make it all sound so simple … creating a laid-back setting from the very first day. I love the way you cruise the shop and step in with a ‘laying on of hands’ at those moments when we’re not quite getting it, yet not so often that we might feel like we’re not getting it.”
– Herb Forsberg
