Prefer to start your training in a safe and nurturing environment with other women like yourself that want to start learning new skills? Home repair skills can save you hundreds possibly thousands of dollars.  The foundation of any successful project is appropriately using workshop tools. This detailed in-person workshop introduces the vast world of tools and highlights their critical role in bringing creative and practical projects to life. Even if you are a beginner or novice when it comes to home repair, all you need is a little know-how and professional education.  

Workshop tools are the backbone of any DIY or crafting endeavor. From basic repairs to elaborate constructions, the right tools make the job possible and influence the quality and efficiency of your work.

There will be various workstations where you can use tools (under the direction of Dr. Cooper and his Guild’s members) to get a better understanding of how the tool can be used in real time.

Remember, the right tool for the job makes all the difference, so choose wisely and always prioritize safety when using hand tools. These are hands-on learning workshops!
