Woodworking for Women

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic In this introductory woodworking class organized with women in mind, learn the foundations of working wood by hand to develop the necessary skills to build useful objects in wood, all in a supportive, inclusive environment. Though the focus is on working with hand tools, for their accuracy and ease of use, we will also take advantage of some basic power tools, to accelerate our process, resulting in a well-rounded and accessible experience for all skill levels. Projects may include spoons, small footstools, or benches, exploring hand carving, lamination, joinery, jig making, and non-toxic finishing. This process requires patience and some stamina! Students will have the opportunity to develop the strength and skill required to make objects with people power, and with power tools! We’ll also discuss the historic and current role of women in woodworking, and prepare you to advance your woodworking skills.

Woodworking for Women welcomes all students, and the focus is on creating a safe, supportive space to encourage you to work with wood!

Your materials fee includes your wood, finishing products, fasteners, and all other supplies and materials needed to complete your projects.

Please wear closed-toed shoes, long pants, and clothes that can get messy!
