Basic Woodwork Workshops
WELCOME
Im so pleased you are here! This year, I have been focusing on some exciting new ventures like mentorship for Women’s Sheds and anyone setting up a teaching space, online courses, and podcasts.
I have recently created two shorter workshops that you might find inspiring. While I have stepped back from running longer workshops for now, it’s for a good reason – I’m deep into writing a book about how to create and set up a woodworking shed,-one that isn’t just about the space itself, but about teaching and building community within it. It’s a big project and I can’t wait to share more as it unfolds. In the meantime, have a look around – I hope you find something that sparks your interest. If you are new to woodworking or looking for a fresh approach my course in a book, Woodwork for Women – Cutting a New Path for Beginners, is a great gateway into the world of woodwork. It’s designed to be welcoming, untechnical and full of real stories about women’s experiences, to help you get started with confidence, learning essential woodworking hand skills.
And remember to stay tuned to my newsletter where you will get the news first—the journey continues in exciting new ways! For updates, inspiration, and tips, follow me on social media: Woodwork for Women on Youtube, Facebook and Instagram.
Patt Gregory has been running woodwork workshops for more than 30 years in the lovely town of Mullumbimby in Northern New South Wales (40 minutes drive from the Gold Coast).
I teach that making beautiful things from wood is no big leap, nor something that requires years of practice. Joinery making is a gentle art even though it incorporates the use of loud, sometimes intimidating Power Tools.
I have been running the workshops for over 30 years and each time is a little different as I make it the best it can be so that you can return home feeling settled and confident to know where to start, what those tools are that you need to find in the back of your shed to use, or what to buy new or second hand at your budget level. You get a snapshot of the woodworking industry using knowledge and information to dilute any mystery. So the workshop is jam packed (or sawdust packed full) with heaps to get you going.
Oh and did I say you design, build and take home the project you have made with your own two hands.
