Women in Wood: Make your own picture frame

MakerSpace is proud to celebrate International Women's Day with this class for women who want to learn some rad new skills!  

Furniture maker, Chi Yusuf, will introduce you to the woodworking tools and techniques for working with timber to make a beautiful timber frame that will make your image shine - maybe of a woman who inspires you?  At the end of this class you will take home beautiful a 30 x 40cm frame that you have made yourself from scratch, complete with mounting board and glass. 

You will be inducted into the MakerSpace & Co. wood workshop, and gain new wood working skills that will give you the confidence to make your own picture frames (and more!) in the future. The techniques you will learn are also applicable to a wide range of woodworking projects.

Wood and supplies, including mounting board and glass, are all included in the course price.
