Ever tried to hang something heavy only to discover there’s no stud where you need one? Don’t worry—there’s an anchor for that!
About this Event

In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to choose and use different types of wall anchors, including drywall anchors, molly bolts, and toggle bolts. We’ll cover how much weight different anchors can hold, when to use each type, and how to position and drill your holes so your project is set up for success.

You’ll leave with the confidence to hang shelves, artwork, mirrors, fixtures, and other heavy things securely—without waiting for a stud to magically appear.

Bring: A drill, screwdrivers, drill bits and drivers, and anything you’ve been wanting to hang but aren’t sure how to tackle!

While this class is designed for women, all genders are welcome!
