Workshop for Women participants

Ladies,

Stop paying someone else to do your home repair and learn some simple, hands-on tasks for at-home maintenance. If you're looking for a woman-friendly place to learn how to get your hands on those power tools, tackle carpentry, learn plumbing basics and more, Workshop for Women in Denver is your place.

Judy Browne, founder and creator of Workshop for Women, has created a local space for women to learn new skills and develop self-sufficiency in areas they may have never had confidence in before. Read more about her vision here.

Perhaps the best workshop to start with is Basic Handywoman, which includes four classes: Home Maintenance, Drywall Repair, Hanging Things and Power Tools.

Length: Total of 9 class hours
Cost: $215.00 (Savings of $30 off individually priced classes)
Schedule: Scheduled daytime and evening on alternating months. See Calendar.

Basic Handywoman Registration: Call 303-284-6354 or purchase online.
