Johnson College is now accepting registrations for its Women at the Workbench: Carpentry Workshop, a hands-on, one-day experience designed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of woodworking in a welcoming and supportive environment. The workshop will take place Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the college’s Scranton campus.
The cost is $65. Registration is available at johnson.edu/workshops. For more information, contact the college’s WAVE team at wave@johnson.edu or 570-702-8979.
Participants will learn essential carpentry skills, including how to measure, cut and assemble materials, while working on their own individual projects. The workshop is ideal for beginners or anyone looking to build their confidence with tools and hands-on work.
This workshop, through Johnson College WAVE’s (Workforce Advancement & Value-Added Education) department, offers more than just technical instruction. It’s an opportunity to step up to the workbench, gain practical experience, and walk away with something you built yourself, along with the confidence to keep building.
The workshop is open to participants 18 years and older. All are welcome.
