WomenzShed

Come along to the market at Corban Estate Arts Centre on Friday 17 July!

We’ll be there with our workshopper-made wētā hotels for sale - perfect for learning, exploring, and conserving our native insects.

Pop by our stall, say hello, and have a chat with the WomenzShed team. We’d love to share a little about our woodworking workshops and the difference they make in our community.

"Hi, I’m Joy, I’m a qualified builder, with 7 and a half years of hands-on experience across both residential and commercial sectors here in Horowhenua.  

While I love the physical trades, I also love to empower other women to pick up tools.  I’m excited to be part of this community:)"

We continue to be in awe of the achievements of our workshoppers. From never having picked up a power tool not that long ago, look what they've now created on our beginners cabinetry workshop under the skillful guidance of our fabulous teacher Mathilde Polmard (https://mathildepolmard.com):
A side table, a bedside table and a laundry cabinet. Amazeballs!

If you'd like to start your own creative and practical skills journey, join us at one of our workshops. Our next 'Intro to Woodwork' class is coming up this Saturday and we have a space available due to a cancellation!

Woodworking has really positive physical and mental health benefits. It’s great for strength and agility, and because you're often working with sharp blades, you have to be 'in the moment' to avoid any 'mishaps'. Not only that, its an intergenerational hobby where you never stop learning.

Which is why the good folk at Waitakere Health Link Inc invited us to an open day at Waitakere hospital. We had lots of women (and men) come and chat to find out more.

See the link in our bio for our website if you're keen to learn more too.

We pride ourselves at WomenzShed by offering high-quality classes that comprehensively support women beginning their journey into the world of wood.

We have a large selection of tools to try and a new purpose-led space to teach in. And our women only classes provide a really welcoming and supportive environment.

If you've always wanted to try woodwork or want greater confidence on how to use your existing tools effectively, book your spot now.
