Intro to Tools for Women+ is a welcoming, hands-on workshop designed for women and anyone who wasn’t socialized to handle tools growing up. In this 4-hour class, you’ll get real, hands-on time with hand tools and power tools—including drills, impact drivers, saws, and sanders—in a space where all questions are welcome and no prior experience is needed.
