What is 'In Our Hands'?
We’re the only non-profit workshop of our kind in the UK, offering radically affordable courses in basic carpentry, woodwork, DIY and building skills for women and all other marginalised gender identities.
Taught and facilitated by women and non-binary people, we create a fun, un-pressured environment where you can learn at your own pace. You’ll have access to tools (hand and power), bench space and supportive guidance from skilled builders and makers. Book on to one of our courses here.
Our workshop is located just outside Steyning, West Sussex. There are transport links from Brighton, Shoreham, Worthing and Horsham, and we’re 1-2 hours drive from London. Find our address here.

Engaging architecture
No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful.
Mesmarizing Design
Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure.
