DIY course for females
Fantastic presentation and wholly enjoyed the 2 day course. It has given me such confidence in my ability to tackle DIY projects this Spring.
Well worth it!
Absolutely fantastic course, Michelle and Sarah were very knowledgeable and very encouraging. I came to the course without any real experience of DIY and I can now confidently use power tools and identify their parts, hang shelves and curtain poles, make items out of wood and even build a stud wall! Do not hesitate, it is well worth the money and the teachers and group of ladies were all lovely too, great weekend!

So Good!!
Just completed a two day course with Sarah. Went from zero knowledge of power tools to be able to drill and insert screws confidently and cut with a jigsaw. Over the course of two days we built a wall, hung shelves, and built a wooden tool box. Sarah is a brilliant, patient and fun teacher. Lovely working in a group with similar minded women. Couldn’t recommend this course enough so if you want to empower yourselves ladies don’t hesitate give it a go ! Thank you Sarah!!

Above and beyond
I loved my course! We practised all sorts of things and learned what happens when you make mistakes. There was no pressure, just lots of encouragement. Sarah even left me with all the bits I need to make shelves for my shop. Homework 🙈 I can’t recommend these courses more highly.
Worth every penny.
