“Ashley with Smash-a-Craft is amazing – super easy to work with, very pro-active, punctual, self-sufficient, and talented! We hosted multiple Smash-a-Craft classes at our brewery and all of them were very successful and sold out. Marketing efforts were strong & mutual. Set-up & clean-up was a breeze – Ashley does it all! We would highly recommend hosting a Smash-a-Craft class!”
