Class Design to

The class is intended to get ladies up-to-speed on basic building skills, working with wood, and using hand tools as well as 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.

Class Overview

This workshop is about empowering you to say ” I can” and never to be limited by the fact you have never … Whether the NaySayer 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 the way it should always be. We take pride that with each graduate the world comes a little closer to gender equality.

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. 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.

No Skill Level Required
