Prior to International Women’s Day on Tuesday, March 8, the Geeveston Community Centre officially opened its Women Working with Wood exhibition at the Geeveston Town Hall on Friday, March 4 in celebration of Women Makers.

Items on display included hand-carved spoons, wooden toolboxes, chopping boards, bowls and an Adirondack chair made by women during woodworking programs.

President of the Geeveston Community Association Jeremy Brown stated that the idea for a women working with wood workshop came from the COVID era, with many community groups shutting down and emerged as a space for women to learn, construct and share skills amongst each other in woodworking.

“This exhibition was something that emerged from the workshops and has grown and taken off; this is just a bit of what has come from this,” Mr Brown expressed.
