Ottawa DIY Power Tool Workshops for Women

Empowering DIY workshops created by women for women!
While online tutorials are helpful, getting to learn and use power tools in-person builds real confidence! In these supportive, small-group sessions, Rachelle Tessier, teaches how to use power tools safely through guided, practical projects.
Each workshop goes beyond the build: they focus on safety, technique, and the confidence to take on home projects, while fostering community in a space that has traditionally been male-dominated. Every session includes step-by-step guidance with all materials and all tools provided.
Project Pine Designs is proud to partner with RONA+ locations across Ottawa to deliver these workshops.
