Give life to an
abandoned space
in our community
Bring, to our community: access to a "Do-it-Yourself" means of self-sufficiency and the knowledge and skills that go with it.
We
are building a...
Carpentry
Coven!
...With a mission to...
Take Carpentry and pair it with: hands on workshops; and a fem friendly & inclusive environment that works to take the misogyny out of building.
Create access to all of the tools & skills needed to build what's on your heart & mind either on your own, in our shared work space; or with the step-by-step guidance of a workshop.
Anchor 2
Create an environment that provides access to: work space, tools, building materials, locally made products, information, processes, workshops, community, and mentorship.
Bring new resources to
our community
This is how we envision utilizing and expanding on the space that we want to build!
