Women's OPEN HOURS Wood Shop

Women’s OPEN HOURS Wood Shop

Women’s Open Wood Shop Hours provide a dedicated, women-centered space for current members and certified drop-in participants to build, practice, and gain confidence in the woodshop.

These sessions are designed for individuals who have already completed the Wood Shop Safety Certification and are looking for supported shop time. A trained staff member will be on hand throughout the session to assist with tool use, answer questions, provide light guidance on projects, and help reinforce safe practices. This is not a structured class, but rather supervised open build time.

The goal of Women’s Open Wood Shop Hours is to increase access, confidence, and skill development in a supportive environment where participants can work independently while still having technical support available when needed.

Participation is open to:

• Members in good standing who have completed Wood Shop Safety Certification

• Non-members who have completed the Women’s Wood Shop Safety Certification and register through the drop-in option

All participants must follow MakerspaceCT safety policies and shop guidelines. A respectful, inclusive environment is expected at all times.
