Intro to Framing with Maria K-J from Hammerstone (Morning Session)

All DIYD workshops have Pay What You Can ticket options.

If the Full Cost Ticket is financially comfortable for you, we ask that you purchase this ticket to help DIYD offset the costs of workshop expenses.

If the Full Cost Ticket is a stretch for you at this time, choose a lower cost ticket that suits your financial capacity. Choose the “Pay What You Can” option to purchase a ticket for as low as $1.

If you would like to make a donation to DIYD, choose the 125% cost ticket option or use the Pay What You Can option to make a donation of any amount. (And thank you!)

This workshop is a collaboration with Maria Klemperer-Johnson, Founder and Director of Hammerstone School of Carpentry for Women (Ithaca, NY).
