When a yoga pro like Sarah Annelese describes her time at your workshop as a “wholesome day”, you know you’ve created the perfect space for learning skills AND mindfulness practice. That's gotta be a win-win! ❤ 🔨 🧘‍♀️

From beautician to woodworker!

Our Saturday group including Raya here did a fantastic job at our Introduction to Woodwork class yesterday. Most had never even used a drill before, but by the end of the day they'd learned a whole range of new skills, got stuck in, and made something they were proud of.

Our women-only classes means there’s no pressure to already know what you’re doing, and no fear of getting it wrong.

Who knows where a new skill might take you? 💪🪵

Last week, Nikki, the founder of WomenzShed , came by to collect some plywood offcuts for their woodworking workshops and we couldn't be happier to help.

WomenzShed runs workshops that teach women new skills with tools and machinery, in a welcoming environment where anyone, from total beginners to those thinking about a career in the trades, can learn, build and grow in confidence.

Instead of these offcuts going to waste, they're heading off to help empower a whole community of women. We think that is pretty awesome!

Thanks Nikki and the WomenzShed team for the work you do!

A huge shout out to Sue from Return to Sender Caskets for her generous donation of plywood off-cuts and dowels to WomenzShed today.

Thanks to donations like these, we're excited to be developing a September School Holiday Woodworking programme for girls - something we've been asked about by parents time and time again.

We'll build a different project each day, such as their own wooden jewellery stand, learning practical woodworking skills while creating something beautiful and useful to take home.

We also love that these quality materials are being given a second life rather than going to waste. Repurposing timber off-cuts is something WomenzShed has always been passionate about, helping support a more circular economy while inspiring the next generation of makers.

If you know any young (15+ yrs) women in Auckland who would love to learn woodworking, please share this post with their parents, grandparents or caregivers. We'll be announcing dates and bookings soon!
