Kind words from previous workshop attendees
"I loved the positivity and community of all the people involved. I feel so much more confident and ready to tackle some projects myself. Thank you, thank you!"
"I thought this was an excellent workshop! I really appreciated it. The instructions and explanations were clear, helpful, encouraging and the instructor had a great sense of humor. There was an expressed understanding of why and how women are inherently disadvantaged by assumptions that we aren't interested and/or capable of using tools and building things and the ways in which we have been traditionally excluded. The workshop inspired me to be braver in trying things on my own and if anything I think it could be a multiple weekend workshop. Two days wasn't enough! Thank you!!"
