Overview

Learn how to build a wall by learning framing, plumbing and electrical in this three-part class.

A three-part series of hands-on building classes that investigates behind walls; basic framing techniques, plumbing and electrical will be covered.

The classes are ambitious and will cover a lot of information; the goal is to provide participants with an overview of the systems in your house. Basic tool use or handiness is helpful and students can participate at a level that feels good to them.

The classes build on each other but also can be taken as just one. Participants can sign up for classes individually ($60 + Eventbrite fees) or the entire series for a 10% off discount ($162 + Eventbrite fees). Sign up here.

Please note: Tools will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own tool kits. Participants will sign a waiver prior to participating.
