It’s the mission of Joist Skills Workshops to offer women
exposure, excitement & encouragement
to cultivate practical skills
in a safe environment.

At a Joist Skills Workshop you can learn to use a wide variety of power tools & hand tools, project planning & prep techniques, learn about materials, hardware, and gain the confidence to walk into any hardware store and tackle your own projects!

The Goals of every
