About this Event
There is nothing more empowering than achieving something others said you should pay someone else to do for you!
She Bangs ToolSchool is for women, by women - and we're here to show you how you can Do-It-Yourself, together!
Homes require a lot of maintenance to keep them healthy & safe spaces, as well as prolong the property's life. Things break and need repair. And sometimes, you just want it to look pretty! With a range of tasks to get done in this small Melbourne apartment, this workshop series across July should definitely be on your to-do list!
With up to 8 workshops to choose from, we'll cover off several foundational and achievable tasks for your home. Come to one session, or all of them!
Session 1: Preparation & Painting -Architraves, Sills & Doors (Session 2 TBC)
· Learn more than you thought there was to know about paint and painting
· Understand different application techniques and how they affect your finish
· Use a range of tools to get full, even coverage
Session 3: Timber Benchtop Longevity (Session 4 TBC)
· Removing stains and scratches from timber
· Sanding to achieve an even, umarked finish
· Different options for sealing to protect (and be food safe)

Session 5: Sealing & Caulking (Session 6 TBC)

We'll be working on-site as a real life in-home project with a maximum group of 4. You'll learn loads of useful info, watch demonstrations and receive instruction from handywoman Sam, and most importantly, get hands on and have a go in this safe, female-friendly, uplifting environment.
Learn to use some new tools, discuss what you can and can't DIY (and why!), and get some tips about hiring trades when needed.
