From WOO to You: A Community Woodshop in a Virtual World
Please note that all session times are in Eastern Daylight Time
A Workshop of Our Own (WOO, for short), based in Baltimore, MD, is a supportive woodshop and educational space run by and for women and gender non-conforming craftspeople. The 6400 sq ft woodshop opened its doors in April 2017, with a mission to train and support people of underrepresented genders in the field of woodworking and furniture making. When the covid-19 pandemic hit, we temporarily closed the doors on our physical woodshop, and set to work refocusing our organization’s mission in the virtual sphere. In doing so we learned more about both our local Baltimore community and the community of women and gnc craftspeople all over the world.
