Do you have things you want to attach to your wall? A mirror you thrifted? A shelf? Come and learn how in this workshop!
About this Event

Discover how to hang a wall shelf, a mirror, etc. with confidence in this practical, beginner-friendly workshop. Working in pairs on realistic models of modern wall systems, participants will get hands-on experience finding studs, choosing the right anchors, and safely installing a simple shelf. The techniques you’ll learn can be applied to many other projects—like hanging art, mirrors, or even mounting a TV.

This workshop is ideal for women+ who are looking to feel more comfortable tackling projects around the house. It's also bound to be a little messy, so please dress appropriately.

Instructor

The workshop will be taught by local handywoman, Meg, who has been serving Ottawa and the surrounding area for several years. Meg enjoys helping her clients with their home projects, effectively taking things off their to-do lists. One of the top requests she gets from clients is how to attach things to drywall and then patch holes (if things go a little sideways). These are great beginner DIY project that she looks forward to helping women (in particular) succeed with.
