Think you’d enjoy working with wood but unsure where to start? Learn the fundamentals and get to grips with everyday tools and DIY in our empowering\u00a0pay-what-you-can<\/strong>\u00a0woodworking sessions that run from\u00a09.45am-4.30pm,\u00a0<\/strong>ideal for beginners or those practicing their skills. Through the day you will be guided on a small box project, such as a storage box, crate, small planter or tray. We also run ‘pallet to planter’ editions, focused on building a planter from pallet wood with relevant growing advice from a skilled grower.\u00a0These workshops are for anyone who identifies as a woman or other marginalised gender (trans and non-binary inclusive!)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the day entail?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With supportive guidance <\/strong>you will learn the entire process of designing and constructing your box, learning how to use everyday hand and power tools and grow confidence in building\/DIY fundamentals.  The aim of the day is not to leave with a perfect faultless product, but to have built up your confidence, skill sets and knowledge at your own pace<\/strong>. You will be welcomed to an open and compassionate environment<\/strong> that will help you build that groundwork and feel more confident using tools at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our ‘Pallet To Planter’ <\/strong>workshops are the same structure, but curated specifically for planter boxes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No experience necessary<\/strong> – this is a place to start from scratch or build upon a growing set of skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please bring a packed lunch.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tea, coffee and biscuits provided: Please inform us of any allergies or dietary restrictions when you book. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

How does the pay-what-you-can work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2025 update:<\/strong> As of February 2025 we are implementing a \u00a315 deposit<\/strong> to secure your place on this workshop, due to the stress and extra admin caused by no-shows and last minute cancellations. You will then pay the rest on the day, with instructions given at the workshop \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These workshops run on a pay-what-you-can basis so that regardless of income workshops are available and inclusive to anyone. Our ‘pay it forward’ options are for those able to contribute to our work and pay a little extra to make the low income spaces available – please consider this if you are able! We’ll leave it in your hands as to how much you’re able to contribute, but please take a look at the helpful infographic below if you’d like a fair perspective and guidance on your choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our service is not free to run and we will rely on a community centred <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and conscious mindset from those participating to contribute fairly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
