About

The Huon She Shed, Inc is a non-profit organisation that aims to provide a safe, inclusive environment for woman of all ages, backgrounds, identities and capabilities where they can gather and learn basic building, metal working and wood working skills. 

Our goal is to upskill women and give them the confidence to be able to undertake their own minor repairs, as they may not have access to tools or know how to use them.
