WOOLWICH — Shelter Institute will offer a variety of courses and workshops designed to teach women to build with confidence.
The Tools for Women series offers a hands-on opportunity for developing building skills, beginning with workshops designed to introduce tool familiarity, tool maintenance, and building skills and culminating in a weeklong course that teaches students how to design and build a full-size 24-foot by 24-foot timber frame.
The series, which began in February, continues a workshop on Hands-On Sawhorse Building (April 28, $95) and Power Tool Selection (May 19, $45).
From Oct. 21 to 27, women are invited to a Purely Post and Beam for Women course in which participants will build and raise a 24-foot by 24-foot timber frame. Cost of that week-long course is $300.
Courses are taught by Blueberry Beeton and are open to women regardless of where they fall in the spectrum of building, renovating, maintaining, or woodworking, according to a release. Attendees need not have taken any previous classes.
To register, call 442-7938 or visit www.shelterinstitute.com online or stop by 873 Route 1 in person.
