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
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
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.

6:30pm – 8:30pm
Thursday Evenings
6:30pm – 8:30pm
Saturday Sessions
9:00am – 12:00pm
