Power Tool Petting Zoo: Women and LGBTQ Folks
With Dani Slabaugh
Reclaim the woodshop! In this class we invite women, gender-expansive, and LGBTQ folks to get comfy with drills, saws, nail guns, and more in a supportive, hands-on environment. If you have ever wanted to take a demolition hammer to the cis-hetero patriarchy, but nobody told you how to turn the thing on, this class is for you!
With a spirit of low-stakes experimentation and camaraderie, we will explore hands-on opportunities with a variety of beginner-friendly tools that may include power drills, impact drivers, scroll saws, jig saws, band saws, miter saws, power sanders, and a few varieties of nail guns. No question is too basic, bring them all. You’ll walk away with the confidence to safely tackle and trouble-shoot a variety of projects, and maybe even make a few friends to help you make your DIY dreams a reality.
