Skip to content We are a group of Women, self taught, in the fundamentals of woodworking.
Operating out of the local Men’s Shed, we come together to create a variety of projects using both new and reclaimed timbers.

At the Whittlesea Women’s Shed, we provide a welcoming and inclusive space for women of all skill levels to explore and enjoy woodworking.
