Meet your instructor: Samuel Lujajohnson

His father, a lifelong mechanic, instilled the foundations of using tools and working with his hands from an early age. Sam always enjoyed building things, and had a dedicated workshop by the time he was 12. Mostly self-taught in his adult life, he has continued to learn from other experts through local classes or online videos. Samuel is the co-founder of the custom furniture and fine art company, Oak and Ember Design LLC; partnered with his sister Maranda. With a love for teaching, and all things wood & art, Sam will look forward to leading you through your next project.
