About this Event

WOMEN'S CARPENTRY CLASS - 2 DAY is held one weekend each month. We meet 10am -3pm each day.

All the classes are self paced; there is no beginners or advanced. Each class begins with lessons on primary tools and additional tools are added when required.

The class is intended to get ladies up-to-speed on basic building skills, working with wood, and using hand and power tools. Focus is placed on creating a safe, comfortable, relaxed and fun learning environment in which students with beginning to intermediate skill levels can thrive.

This workshop is about empowering you to say " I can" and never be limited by the fact you have never ... Whether the Nay Sayer is in your head or people in your life, you will learn to blow them out of existence. Empowerment is more than just learning a skill, it is the feeling of confirmation that this is way it should all ways be. We take pride that with each graduate the world comes a little closer to gender equality.

Set aside all the misconceptions of learning from men and social norms what your abilities are. Learn to embrace your visions and dreams. I am saying with confidence that if you can dream it, you can achieve it!

Our classes for women and the female-identified take into account a more feminine learning style. We put a focus on learning as we go, encouraging students to ask questions and ask for help. We work on group projects, along with individual ones, and we share meals together. This sense of togetherness and connection with the group helps everyone feel safe and welcome. We highlight different abilities and strengths, noticing that everyone’s contributions are needed and that they come in handy in different ways.

BEFORE CLASS You will be contacted to learn more about your project ideas. Wood will then be purchased based on the project we decide on. (Larger projects will require additional fees.)

THE FIRST DAY We will cover safety, introduction to tools, and work together on a group project that will build confidence. You can expect to learn how to use saws, sanders, drill, and power screwdrivers. After a snack break, we will design your project and get you started. By the end of the day you will be confident to work on your project independently (with guidance).

THE SECOND DAY We will go over additional tools not covered for selected projects. The rest of the day will be self paced--with guidance and assistance upon request and as needed. After the snack break, we will then finish and finalize projects.

AFTER CLASS Pictures will be taken of projects.
