Make Space
for Gender Equity

Make Space for Gender Equity is a first-Fridays open-shop session with free wood and craft workshop hours for women, trans, and nonbinary people. Participants can explore, play, work on a project, and learn with a supportive community. Open shop hours are 5-8pm, and the skill share starts at 6pm. This month's skill share is Rope Making with Mecca (@blkflmkr). Participants learn to make cordage from two recycled materials, t-shirts and plastic bags, by cutting them into strips and twisting them into the desired shape. The cordage can become rope coasters and baskets for the home, weaving materials, or rope for tools. Some materials are available, and participants are encouraged to bring old t-shirts and plastic bags from home. Mecca is an artist and filmmaker interested in the natural world and self liberation through DIY. The event is free; RSVP is recommended.
