In this hands-on workshop, you’ll build confidence using a range of common household tools while learning safe, practical techniques under the guidance of Rob. Across the session, you’ll get comfortable with the basics—how tools work, when to use them, and how to handle them safely—so you can tackle everyday home tasks with ease.

You won’t just walk away with new skills. You’ll also take home your very own carry‑all (toolbox), to stock with the essential tools you’ve learned to use, so you can keep practising and putting your new abilities to work straight away.

This workshop is designed especially for beginners who want to feel more capable, independent, and handy around the home. No prior experience is needed—just curiosity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to give things a go.
