About this event

All DIYD workshops have Pay What You Can ticket options.

If the Full Cost Ticket is financially comfortable for you, we ask that you purchase this ticket to help DIYD offset the costs of workshop expenses.

If the Full Cost Ticket is a stretch for you at this time, choose a lower cost ticket that suits your financial capacity. Choose the “Pay What You Can” option to purchase a ticket for as low as $1.

If you would like to make a donation to DIYD, choose the 125% cost ticket option or use the Pay What You Can option to make a donation of any amount. (And thank you!)

For more information about how DIYD uses the revenue from ticket costs, scroll down to our FAQ section below.

In this workshop, students will be shown how to fix damaged drywall with hands on practice. We’ll start by learning about how house framing looks and functions behind the drywall, and then will learn how to prepare or remove a section of damaged drywall, patch or replace it with new drywall, apply coats of drywall mud, and sand it down to perfection, before painting.

About instructor Andrew Hall:

"I'm the type of person who has been building and fixing things my entire life. The transition into home repair and remodel work as a career was a natural one. I grew up in the south and met my wife while working in Indianapolis. We moved to Cincinnati 6 years ago and have two beautiful girls. I enjoy home repair for the fact of making old things new again. I’m also learning new things each day which drives me to continue to expand my skill set and never stop learning. Teaching others what I’ve learned gives me fulfillment to know good skills are being passed onto other people. Working as a lead craftsman with the team at ProMaster gives me the opportunity to showcase my skill set as we renovate homes all around the Cincinnati area. I look forward to sharing my abilities with others so they too can better care for their homes.”

Frequently asked questions

What is my ticket money paying for?

Since DIYD is a non-profit, most of DIYD’s general expenses are paid for via grants, sponsorships, and individual donations. Ticket sales help us to offset the costs of specific workshop expenses, such as teacher fees and workshop materials.

Why should I make a donation to DIYD beyond the full cost of a ticket?

If you are able to make a donation to DIYD beyond the cost of the general admission ticket, your donation will help DIYD continue to offer the “pay-what-you-can” ticket model for attendees for whom the cost of admission would be a barrier to entry.

What is the class size at a DIYD workshop?

Class size in workshops typically ranges from 5 to 15 people, depending on the topic.

Can I bring my child with me to the workshop?

Unless we are explicitly offering childcare, we ask that you do not bring children under 16 to our workshops as our venue is not child-safe and there is no space for them to spend time during the workshop. Children over the age of 16 are welcome to join as a workshop participant.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We strongly recommend that participants wear close-toed, comfortable shoes, and durable clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty or dusty. If you have long hair, it is recommended that you bring a hair tie to put it up during the hands-on portions of the workshops.

Do I need to bring my own tools?

DIYD will provide all tools and safety equipment for all participants at each workshop. If you do have your own tools, we encourage you to bring them to a tool-specific workshop if you’d like the opportunity to learn more about the tools you already have.
