Question to see the Answer
Please wear clothes that can get dirty.
We will provide smocks for those students who do not have the
opportunity to change clothes prior to attending class.
Please wear closed toes shoes.
Sandals and flip-flops can be dangerous and will expose your feet to
potential injury.
Leave all your valuable jewelry at home.
We will ask you to remove all rings and any hanging jewelry like
bracelets or necklaces. We do not want you to misplace your
valuables during class so it is best if you can leave them safely at
home.
Tie back long hair from your face.
Because of safety concerns, especially with the use of power tools,
we will ask that all long hair be pulled back and secured away from
your face. We will provide hair ties for those students who may
need them.
The classes are
designed for women over the age of 18, however we will gladly
register young women, 16 or 17 years old, with a parent or guardian
willing to sign a liability waiver and who will attend the
class with someone 18 years old or older (the adult attending the
class with the young woman does NOT need to be her parent or
guardian). If you have a group of young women below the age of 16
that you think would benefit from any of our classes please contact
us at
questions@workshopforwomen.com or 303-284-6354 to discuss
special arrangements.
Of course they
can. Although we don’t market our classes directly to men, the class
content is of general interest. The class content and classroom
environment were specifically designed to appeal to women. We are
well aware of the fact that men could use this type of instruction
and welcome them into our classes.
Our classes are held in a small brick bungalow built in 1914. The
atmosphere and environment is welcoming and comfortable allowing for
socializing and fellowship. It has been designed to appeal to
women. Our class curriculum was created knowing that some, if not
most, women have had little or no exposure to some of the very basic
skills necessary for tackling home improvement tasks. We assume you
come to class with no experience. We treat every student with
respect, knowing that there is no such thing as a ‘stupid’ question
and that no matter how little or how much you know there is always
an opportunity to learn. We encourage students to share their
personal knowledge and experience with each other. We encourage
laughter, fellowship and support.
Class size can vary
from 1 to 6. Class size is limited to no more than 6 students.
Our class size is
limited to ensure the best experience for each student. The small
class size allows for plenty of time for hands-on practice and
allows the facilitator to give more personalized instruction. If
you have a group of more than 6 that would like to attend a class
together, please contact us at
questions@workshopforwomen.com or 303-284-6354 to discuss
special arrangements.
