Christchurch’s Safe Space to Learn DIY With Confidence
BUILT BY HER
A Place Where Women Learn to Build
We’re creating a Christchurch-based space designed to give women a safe, welcoming environment to learn practical DIY skills for the home.
Whether you’ve never picked up a tool before or you want to deepen your knowledge, this space is about confidence, capability, and community.
Led by experienced, qualified builders and LBP professionals, our workshops are hands-on, practical, and designed to make the building industry more approachable.
Who is this for?
-
Homeowners wanting more confidence
-
Women interested in learning about tools
-
DIY beginners
-
Anyone wanting practical knowledge in a safe environment
- Access to ask any personalised questions relating to your current situation. From asking about risks hidden in a property – to helping you plan your next project or move.
Whether you’re seeking serious new knowledge or simply something empowering to do on a weekend with friends — there’s a place for you here, and we’d love to have you!
Weekly Workshop Schedule
We believe confidence isn’t built in a single evening — it’s built through practice. That’s why our workshops are structured as progressive learning series, designed to give you real skills, not just surface-level exposure.
Please note, if you register for a particular night, that will be the class you are scheduled for, during the duration of the course over the four weeks.
The location of our workshops will be held at our facility on Marshs Road, Templeton
Tuesday Evenings
6:30pm – 8:30pm
Thursday Evenings

Saturday Sessions

Please note, our Saturday workshops are for people wanting to use our workshop for personal projects. You supply the materials and we will supply the tools and the space to work!
