Carpentry/Drywall Workshop for Women

This workshop will focus on basic carpentry skills and knowledge: >Basic hand tools that you should have in your home toolbox > Beginner-friendly tools > Understanding how your home is constructed and why > The basics of drywall installation and repair > Installing drywall anchors This workshop is hands-on! First, you'll practice attaching drywall onto a mini wall and install a variety of wall anchors. Then you'll patch holes in the drywall ranging in size from a removed anchor, all the way up to a hole caused by several well-aimed hammer swings. Each workshop begins with an introduction to hand and power tools, and you'll go home with plenty of resources to help further your understanding of carpentry. The goal of this workshop is to build a comfort level with the systems in your own home and to help make informed decisions when talking with a contractor. All skill levels are encouraged. Class will be held in our outdoor classroom; dress appropriately for the weather and for working around power tools. (Closed-toe shoes, tie-back long hair, etc.) Class limit is 10 attendees.
