New Member Event for women with (some) woodworking/DIY experience

Do you have some basic experience in woodworking or DIY, enjoy using tools, and want the chance to improve your skills while trying out new tools?

If so, come and join our shed! In your first session, you'll be introduced to the other members, learn how the Shed operates, and start with a small project that you can complete. After that, you’re welcome to join the Parramatta Women’s Shed as a regular member and attend our evening and/or morning sessions. You can work on your own projects, explore our project ideas for inspiration, or even work on a joint project.

Become part of a welcoming and supportive community that’s friendly, curious, and always eager to learn!

NB: this is aimed at women who are interested in becoming regular members

FAQS:

What do I wear?

Wear suitable clothes for dusty work. You must wear enclosed shoes. Ensure long hair is tied back. Please remove all hanging jewellery such as necklaces. For colder weather, wear a jumper, as the workshop has outdoor portions.

You are more than welcome to bring your own ear muffs and protective glasses. If not, we can loan them to you for the evening.
