DIY Power Tool Workshops for Women
Join Rachelle Tessier, founder of Project Pine Designs, for an inspiring women-only, judgment-free workshop series at RONA+ locations across Ottawa.
At each workshop, you'll get hands-on experience with power tools and complete your very own project to take home. Every session includes step-by-step guidance, all materials, and all tools provided.
✨ Why These Workshops Are Special:
- A welcoming, supportive space just for women
- No judgment, no pressure, just encouragement and fun
- Learn real skills that build your confidence, one project at a time
- Make new connections with a like-minded community of makers.
All workshops are classified by experience level required: Toolbelt Newbie (Beginner), Sawdust Enthusiast (Intermediate), Carpentry Queen (Advanced).
At this time, participants must be 16+ years of age. Have a daughter under 16? Rachelle is available to visit Girl Guide groups to chat all things power tools and do a show-and-tell to bridge the gap until they can do some hands projects.
Upcoming Workshop Dates:
Spots are limited and fill quickly! Each workshop is limited to 8-10 participants to ensure 1-1 support. Advance registration is required.
