Learn To Attach Anything To Your Drywall

Learn how to confidently hang a wall shelf in this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop. Working in pairs on realistic examples of a modern wall system, students will gain practical experience locating studs, selecting the right wall anchors, and securely mounting a simple shelf. The skills taught in this class apply to a wide range of projects—from hanging artwork and mirrors to mounting TVs and more.

This is a perfect introductory workshop for renters, homeowners, or anyone who wants to feel more confident with tools and walls.

Our instructor, Evan, is an experienced woodworker and educator who is passionate about making hands-on skills accessible to everyone. With a background in woodworking, gardening and teaching, Evan develops and leads workshops on woodworking, home projects, and sustainable living, helping community members build confidence through practical learning. A believer in skill-sharing and resource accessibility, Evan works to connect people with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to tackle their own projects.
