About this Event
Let in that nice spring breeze — without the bugs. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn to make custom-fitted window screens from scratch and repair existing ones (the process is very comparable for screen doors too). The best part? It only takes a few simple tools, all of which you can borrow right here at the Asheville Tool Library.
We'll focus on screens for single and double-hung windows (the kind that slide up and down). Other styles like casement and awning windows — which operate with crank handles — are a bit more involved, but we'll touch on them if time allows. You'll watch a demonstration screen get built for a mocked-up window, then practice the core skills yourself by making a small sample piece.
What's Provided All supplies for making a sample screen (~12" x 12") are included. If you'd like to make a screen for a specific window size or repair a screen door, please reach out to the instructor at least one week before class to share details (email will be provided upon registration), get approval, and receive a shopping list of materials to bring.

Equitable Access We believe everyone deserves access to hands-on learning opportunities, regardless of income. That's why each workshop includes a limited number of Equitable Access seats.
To help us share these opportunities widely:
- Each participant may claim an Equitable Access seat once per quarter (every three months).
- These spots are first-come, first-served and limited by class size.
- If you've already used an equitable seat this quarter, we ask that you register at full price so others can benefit.
Please only claim these tickets if cost is truly a barrier for you — this helps ensure that those who need the support most can take part.
