Upcoming workshops October & November
Welcome to our Women’s Timber Framing Workshops, where we invite you to unleash your inner builder and explore the world of timber framing carpentry. We love timber framing!
You’ve got so many projects and feel you have no skills to do them. You want to build that chook house or art studio. You think you could never do that yourself – you can’t even hammer a nail in every time! Our timber framing workshops are here to change all that.
Step into a supportive and empowering environment designed exclusively for women who are eager to learn and create. We teach you everything you need to know. We start at the beginning. Join us on this journey of skill development, confidence building, and camaraderie in the exciting realm of timber framing.

Jo Saccomani
Our fearless founder of Two Sheds & carpenter of over 30 years
- I love the tools – clamps, chalk lines, hammers, circular saws, speed squares, drop saws!
- I love the theory – the plans, what is the point of timber framing, how to design it to do what you want
- I love the building of it – the hammering, the construction, the squaring, the raising
- I love the feeling of it – building structures, shelters, a room of ones own!
- And I love the carpentry empowerment journey our participants take on this workshop!
I will inspire you to love it all too! You will leave with skills & confidence guaranteed!

“Loved this workshop so much with a bunch of wonderful women. I hope we can meet again someday. I got so much out of it.
Jo is patient, encouraging, nurturing and inspiring. It was amazing how quickly we became accustomed to the hand tools and power saws. I now have a better understanding of how framing is put together.” Nola
“OMG I feel ready to have a go at anything after this workshop! I’ve learnt so much and got to use the power tools like the mitre saw & circular saw and drivers the whole time so I feel really comfortable doing it now – I was so nervous at the start – by the end I felt like Carol Carpenter!” Carol
