Many of us grew up told we had to fit into narrow boxes: stay small, stay quiet, stay “appropriate.” We were never shown that woodworking could be for us, too.
Let’s be clear: Woodworking isn’t about natural strength, perfect skills, or knowing all the tool names and techniques. There is intention in every choice we have made when we built a collective space. You won’t be going into an industrial building, where unfortunately, people (especially women) of colour still have to dodge and avoid strange looks and judgement about our presence. You’ll be walking into picturesque Mui Wo, to a bright, sunlit studio, with a diverse range of bodies.
Here, the focus is on you and what you’re capable of building. At a collective space, you aren’t the exception. You are a maker, a creator, a builder, just like us!
Save this post if you’ve ever thought “I can’t do this” because we want this to be a reminder that YOU CAN!
And if you’re curious, DM us “FIRST TIME” for beginner-friendly dates, prices, and what to expect. No pressure, just information, and you can decide what to do next ✨🫶🏻
