Hobart Women’s Shed provides a safe meeting place for women and gender diverse people to participate comfortably in sharing, making, connecting and belonging to an inclusive and supportive community. This may involve knowledge dissemination, the development of skills in craft, woodwork, ceramics, sewing, weaving, silversmithing and other skills that will expand over time, as well as offering accessible and affordable wellness and health experiences. In addition, practical life skills opportunities will be offered on an as-needs basis to promote autonomy, self-efficacy and self-advocacy in the local and broader community.
Its core values are connection, belonging and generosity.
