This beginner class from our Bites Series aims to teach students How to Hang a Shelf.
Under the guidance of Woodwork tutor Elaine, participants will get hands on with the tools, and in small groups will get to try out the tools involved and hang a shelf, troubleshooting as they go.
If you would like to bring your own drill to get familiar with using it, please feel free. If you don’t have your own drill, don’t worry - we have lots!
Materials are included in the cost of the workshop and no experience is necessary.
We are fully inclusive and all skill levels (Adult 18+) are welcome, however, please note that this course requires hand-eye coordination and the ability to follow precise instructions with regards to safety.
